TP-LINK 10/100/1000 RJ45 TO SM LC MEDIA CNVTR

TP-Link MC220L Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter – A network component, TP-Link MC220L Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter works as a copper and fiber connection bridging device, enabling you to extend your network beyond Ethernet. It will convert your 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 copper networking link into a fiber optic networking link via an SFP port.

It can be effectively used in creating more flexible and robust wired connections in an office, university, data center, or any place where there is a need for optical fiber cables.

Documents and Records

It would be useful for cases in which it will be necessary to extend the range of a network or interconnect devices at ranges beyond copper cable capabilities.

Examples include:
1. Connecting networks among buildings at campuses or offices.
2. Connecting switching systems to fiber backbone networks within business/ISP networks.

Fiber optic connections for IP cameras, servers, or storage.

Technical Details Explanation

A media converter, such as the MC220L, will receive an Ethernet signal from an RJ45 port and transmit it on an SFP port as an optical signal, or vice versa. It lets data be transmitted on an optical cable, which goes much farther compared to a copper cable. That distance will depend on the SFP and optic cable being utilized.

Size and Weight

1. Compact and portable: Ideal for desk and shelf mounting or use within a rack cabinet.
2. Size: 94 × 73 × 27 mm approx. (about 3.7 × 2.9 × 1.1 in)
