Description
- Complies with IEEE 802.3ab and IEEE 802.3z
- FX port supports hot-swappable
- Extends fiber distance up to 0.55km(0.342 miles) for multi-mode fiber and 10km(6.2 miles) for single-mode fiber
he TP-LINK MC220L media converter, after installing an SFP/MiniGBIC module, converts electrical signals (Ethernet data signal) coming via typical STP/UTP cable into modulated light signal transmitted via optical fiber.
This TP-LINK media converter has to cooperate with
an SFP/MiniGBIC module.

Distinguishing features:
- 1 x 1000 Mb/s Ethernet port (RJ-45)
- SFP slot (IEEE 802.3z 1000Base-FX)
- LEDs indicating operation status
- easy installation (plug and play)
- external AC/DC adapter included
The media converter has SFP slot allowing for cooperation with multimode or single-mode optical fibers, depending on the module chosen. All optical transmission parameters depend on the SFP module. TP-LINK MC220L can cooperate with SFP modules compliant with IEEE 802.3z 1000Base-FX standard.
The device supports MDI/MDIX auto detection and automatically finds and sets the fastest connection speed and mode. “Store and forward” mechanism verifies the received data using checksum function.
TP-LINK MC220L is fully compatible with 1000BaseTX/FX standard. Its installation is very simple thanks to “Plug and Play” feature. The LED indicators show current operating status.
Media converters with interchangeable SFP modules can operate in multimode and single-mode networks (transmission via two optical fibers or via single fiber, with the use of modules based on WDM or CWDM technology). The solution is especially cost effective in the case of plans for future expansion of the network (it is sufficient to exchange only the SFP modules).
