The TP-Link MC110CS 10/100Mbps Single Mode Media Converter is a versatile solution designed to extend Ethernet networks over long distances using fiber optic connections. It seamlessly converts 10/100Base-TX Ethernet signals from a copper RJ-45 port to 100Base-FX fiber signals through its single-mode SC fiber port, allowing network connections to reach up to 20 km (12.4 miles). This makes it an excellent choice for businesses or network environments that need to connect devices across large distances.

With support for single-mode fiber and 9/125 μm fiber optic cables, the MC110CS is optimized for long-range data transmission. It operates at wavelengths of 1310 nm for transmission and 1550 nm for receiving, ensuring stable and efficient communication between devices. The auto-negotiation feature allows the converter to adjust automatically between 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps speeds and full-duplex or half-duplex modes, depending on the requirements of the connected devices.

Installation is straightforward with its plug-and-play design, requiring no additional configuration. The auto MDI/MDI-X feature on the RJ-45 port eliminates the need for crossover cables, simplifying setup. LED indicators provide real-time status updates for power, link/activity on both fiber and Ethernet connections, and full-duplex operation, ensuring easy monitoring of the device’s performance.

Housed in a compact form factor of 3.7 x 2.9 x 1.1 inches, the MC110CS fits easily into network setups. It operates reliably within a temperature range of 0°C to 40°C, making it suitable for standard indoor environments. The 9V DC external power adapter ensures stable power supply while consuming just 2.5W of power.

The TP-Link MC110CS is ideal for small to medium-sized businesses or enterprises needing to bridge long distances between network devices using fiber optic connections. Its robust performance, combined with easy installation and cost-effectiveness, makes it a practical choice for enhancing network infrastructure.
