The TP-Link MC111CS is a high-performance 10/100Mbps WDM media converter designed to bridge the gap between fiber optic and copper Ethernet networks. Utilizing advanced WDM technology, it transmits and receives data over a single strand of single-mode fiber cable, reducing cabling costs significantly. This device supports IEEE 802.3u standards for both 10/100Base-TX copper and 100Base-FX single-mode fiber, featuring an SC/UPC connector with a fiber transmission distance reaching up to 20 kilometers.
Equipped with one 100M SC/UPC fiber port and one 10/100M RJ45 port with Auto MDI/MDIX, the MC111CS provides flexible connectivity options. It supports auto-negotiation and duplex modes (half/full), offering smooth integration into existing networks. The unit includes Link Fault Pass-Through and Far End Fault capabilities to minimize traffic interruption in case of link failure.
Compact and energy-efficient, it requires an external power adapter and provides clear LED indicators for power and link/activity status. The MC111CS is suitable for standalone deployment or can be mounted in TP-Link chassis systems, making it ideal for extending network reach in enterprise or industrial environments.
Key environmental specs include an operating temperature range of 0ยฐC to 40ยฐC and storage temperatures from -40ยฐC to 70ยฐC, ensuring reliable performance under various conditions.
