Tp-link MC211CS-2 media converter

TP-LINK MC211CS-2 Gigabit Single-Mode Media Converter

Seamlessly extend your Gigabit Ethernet network over vast distances with the TP-LINK MC211CS-2 Media Converter. This high-performance device is expertly designed to convert 1000BASE-LX/LH fiber media to 1000Base-T copper media, or vice versa, providing a cost-effective and reliable solution for integrating fiber optic cabling into your existing copper network infrastructure. Ideal for connecting remote network segments in large campus environments, industrial settings, or across different buildings, the MC211CS-2 bridges the gap where traditional Ethernet cabling falls short.

The primary benefit of the MC211CS-2 is its ability to transmit data over single-mode fiber optic cable for up to 2 kilometers, significantly extending your network´s reach well beyond the 100-meter limitation of standard copper wiring. It operates at the 1310nm wavelength for both transmitting and receiving data, ensuring stable and high-speed connectivity. This converter can be used as a standalone device for targeted point-to-point connections or installed into a TP-LINK 14-slot rackmount chassis (TL-MC1400) for centralized management in larger network deployments. Its plug-and-play design ensures a swift and straightforward installation process without the need for complex configuration, while advanced features like Link Fault Passthrough (LFP) and Far End Fault (FEF) minimize network downtime by immediately alerting administrators to link issues.

Main Features:

* Complies with IEEE 802.3ab and IEEE 802.3z standards for full compatibility.
* Provides one SC fiber connector and one RJ45 copper port.
* Full wire-speed forwarding at 1000 Mbit/s for both fiber and copper ports.
* Extends fiber optic distance up to 2 km using single-mode fiber.
