The MC220L is a media converter designed to convert 1000BASE-SX/LX fibre to 1000Base-T copper media or vice versa. Designed under IEEE802.3ab 1000Base-T and IEEE802.3z 1000Base-SX/LX standards, the MC220L is designed for use with multi-mode/single-mode fibre cable utilising the LC-Type connector. It works at 850nm on both transmitting and receiving data when adopting multi-mode fibre and 1310nm on both transmitting and receiving data when adopting single-mode.
Other features of this module include the ability to be used as a stand alone device (no chassis required) or with TP-LINK's 19 inch system chassis, Auto MDI/MDI-X for TX port, and front panel status LEDs. The MC220L will transmit at extended fibre optic distances utilising multi-mode fibre up to 0.55 kilometres and 10 kilometres when utilising single-mode fibre.
Key Features of TP-Link MC220L
Converts between fiber (SFP) and copper (RJ45) at gigabit speeds
Supports hot-swappable SFP modules for multi-mode or single-mode fiber
Compact design suitable for standalone use or chassis installation
Auto MDI/MDIX support on RJ45 port for flexible cabling
LED indicators for power and link status
Low power consumption, lightweight, and easy to deploy
Technical Details
Supports IEEE 802.3ab and IEEE 802.3z standards, with a 1 x SFP port and 1 x RJ45 port. Maximum fiber distance varies with SFP module: up to 0.55 km for multi-mode, 10 km for single-mode. Powered via a 9V/0.6A adapter with a maximum consumption of 1.7W. Operating temperature ranges from 0°C to 40°C, with storage tolerance from -40°C to 70°C.
Applications
Use the MC220L to extend network coverage over fiber, or connect fiber backbones to standard Ethernet devices. It's suitable for office buildings, campuses, and locations where fiber reaches but only copper connections are available for devices.
