TP-Link MC220L — Gigabit SFP Media Converter

The TP-Link MC220L is a compact, reliable Gigabit SFP media converter that seamlessly bridges copper Ethernet and fiber-optic networks. Designed for small-to-medium business and enterprise edge deployments, it converts 1000BASE-SX/LX fiber signals to 10/100/1000Base-T copper and vice versa. The unit features a hot-swappable SFP slot for flexible fiber module selection and supports full-duplex flow control for stable, low-loss transmission.

Key features

• Hot-swappable Gigabit SFP port (1000BASE-SX/LX) for flexible fiber module selection
• One 10/100/1000Base-T RJ45 port with Auto-Negotiation and Auto-MDI/MDIX
• Extends fiber links up to 0.55 km (multi-mode, module dependent) and up to 10 km (single-mode, module dependent)
• Compliant with IEEE 802.3ab (1000Base-T) and IEEE 802.3z (1000Base-SX/LX)
• Supports IEEE 802.3x full-duplex flow control
• PWR and Link/Act LED indicators for simple status monitoring
• Compact desktop form factor; external 9VDC/0.6A power adapter

Ideal for

• Connecting Gigabit fiber uplinks to copper switches, routers, or servers
• Extending network reach between buildings or across a campus using fiber
• Network edge deployments that require flexible SFP module choices

Notes & compatibility

• SFP module compatibility is module-dependent. TP-Link supports standard 1000BASE-SX/LX SFPs but does not guarantee compatibility with all third-party SFP modules. Use modules that match the MC220L-supported standards (1000BASE-SX/LX) and required wavelengths.
• Maximum fiber distance depends on the SFP module and fiber type used.
