10/100Mbps WDM Media Converter
Streamline Your Network with Efficient Fiber to Copper Conversion
The TP-Link MC112CS is a highly efficient media converter, expertly designed to facilitate seamless conversion between 100BASE-FX fiber and 100Base-TX copper media. Embracing Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology, it represents a cost-effective solution for modern networking needs.
Key Features of the TP-Link MC112CS
- Compliance with Standards: Adheres to the IEEE 802.3u 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX standards.
- Innovative WDM Technology: Utilizes a single fiber cable for both transmitting and receiving data, effectively halving cabling costs.
- Extended Transmission Range: Capable of transmitting data over single-mode fiber up to 20 kilometers.
Detailed Overview
The MC112CS operates using a longwave (LX) laser specification, ensuring full wire speed forwarding rates. It transmits data at 1310nm and receives at 1550nm. Correspondingly, compatible devices should transmit at 1550nm and receive at 1310nm, like TP-LINK’s MC111CS media converter.
Versatile and User-Friendly
This media converter can function independently, without the need for a chassis. It features Auto MDI/MDI-X for the TX port and supports auto-negotiation of duplex mode, simplifying network setups and maintenance.
Reliable Network Performance
Equipped with Link Fault Passthrough and Far End Fault features, the MC112CS minimizes loss caused by link failures, ensuring a more reliable network connection.
Front Panel Status LEDs
The device includes intuitive status LEDs on the front panel, providing immediate visual feedback on the system status for easy monitoring and troubleshooting.
Summary: A Cost-Effective Solution for Fiber-Copper Conversion
The TP-Link MC112CS stands out as an efficient choice for networks requiring conversion between fiber and copper media. Its adoption of WDM technology, compliance with IEEE standards, and extended transmission range make it a valuable asset for any network looking to optimize its cabling infrastructure and ensure reliable data transmission.
