Extend Gigabit Ethernet with 1550 nm Fibre Transmission
The TP-Link MC211CS-20 converts copper Ethernet to single-mode fibre for links up to 20KM. Its Gigabit RJ45 and SC/UPC connections suit building links, surveillance networks and remote network equipment. This model transmits at 1550 nm and receives at 1310 nm; use it with the complementary MC212CS-20 at the other end.
Highlights
Long-distance connectivity
- Up to 20KM over compatible 9/125 µm single-mode fibre.
- Gigabit optical interface with 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 auto-negotiation.
Single-fibre operation
- WDM sends and receives data over one fibre strand.
- Pairs with MC212CS-20, sold separately.
Straightforward installation
- External 9 V power adapter included.
- Compact enclosure with desktop and wall-mount options.
Key Features
Choose the correct optical pair
MC212CS-20 uses the opposite transmit and receive wavelengths. A matching pair and suitable fibre cabling are required for a converter-to-converter link; this listing contains one converter.
Use existing Ethernet equipment
The RJ45 port provides automatic speed negotiation and Auto MDI/MDIX, allowing compatible copper Ethernet devices to connect to the fibre link.
Reduce fibre-strand requirements
Bidirectional WDM carries both directions on one single-mode fibre strand. Maximum distance depends on the complete optical link and cable condition.
Install where the link is needed
The compact enclosure can sit on a desktop or mount on a wall. Wall screws and fibre cables are not included; an external power supply is required at each converter.
Summary
Choose MC211CS-20 for a compact copper-to-fibre connection where the 1550 nm transmit wavelength matches the receiving equipment. Combine it with MC212CS-20 for a matched Gigabit WDM link.
TP-Link MC211CS-20 Omada Gigabit WDM Media Converter 20KM
The TP-Link MC211CS-20 is a Gigabit Ethernet media converter for copper-to-fibre connections over a single strand of 9/125 µm single-mode fibre. It combines an auto-negotiating RJ45 port with an SC/UPC optical port and supports distances up to 20KM. Its 1550 nm transmit and 1310 nm receive wavelengths complement MC212CS-20. The included external power adapter supports desktop or wall-mounted installation, with status LEDs for power and link activity.
