TP-LINK MODULE 100M/2 KM

The TP‑Link TL‑MC100CM is a reliable and economical Fast Ethernet media converter. It’s known for connecting 100Base‑FX multimode fiber to 10/100Base‑TX copper Ethernet. It features a SC/UPC fiber connector and RJ45 copper connector. Additionally, it takes your network out to 2 km on multimode fiber and provides standard speeds to 100 Mbps. Easy to install, it can stand alone or be mounted into the TL‑MC1400 chassis.

Features & Benefits

• Fiber-to-Copper Bridging: Perfect for expanding a network, this technology transforms multimode fiber (SC) to Ethernet (RJ45) and vice versa.
• Extended Reach: Ideal for off-site or building-to-building communication, this multimode fiber technology extends up to 2 km (1.2 miles).
• Flexible Connectivity: Removes the need for manual crossover or duplex configuration with features like auto negotiation and auto MDI/MDIX.
• Link Fault Protection: Integrated Link Fault Pass Through features immediate fault detection and helps prevent silent link failure.
• Clear Status LEDs: PWR and Link/Act lights ensure simple monitoring of port status at a glance.
• Easy Installation: Standalone compact box; also accepts optional TL-MC1400 chassis if integrated installation preferred.
• Low Power: Economical design draws low power (~2.4 W), which minimizes thermal load.
• Standards Compliance: Fully supports IEEE protocols and safety standards for hassle-free integration.

The TL-MC100CM uses a 1310 nm LX laser via multimode fiber for both transmission and reception of data. Its Auto MDI/MDIX on the copper port eliminates crossover cabling, and IEEE 802.3x flow control ensures data transfer during congestion. Link Fault Pass Through (LFP) feature notifies port faults between copper and fiber, keeping both ends in sync.

Message Applications

• Connecting far switches, hubs, or routers through fiber up to 2 km away
• Extending copper LAN segments where copper cable is impractical
• Duplexed fibre links or campus network backbone links
• Ideal for surveillance, industrial, or distributed network setups

Size & Weight

• Dimensions: ~94.5 × 73 × 27 mm (3.7 × 2.9 × 1.1 in)
• Weight: Light converter module; easy to mount or stack
