The TP-Link MC100CM 10/100Mbps Multi-Mode Media Converter provides a simple and reliable way to connect copper Ethernet networks to multi-mode fiber infrastructure. It converts electrical Ethernet signals from a standard RJ45 connection into optical fiber signals, allowing networks to cover greater distances than conventional copper Ethernet cabling.

10/100Mbps Ethernet to Fiber Conversion

The TP-Link MC100CM features a 10/100Mbps RJ45 Ethernet port and a 100Mbps multi-mode SC fiber interface.

This makes it useful when extending an existing Fast Ethernet network through fiber while continuing to use standard Ethernet equipment at either end.

Up to 2 km Fiber Transmission

Using suitable multi-mode fiber cable, the MC100CM can extend a network connection up to approximately 2 km.

Therefore, it is well suited for connecting separate buildings, offices, security installations and other network locations where standard copper Ethernet’s typical 100-metre distance limit is insufficient.

Multi-Mode SC Fiber Connection

The media converter uses an SC fiber connector operating with multi-mode fiber. It supports 1310 nm wavelength transmission, providing reliable optical connectivity for compatible fiber networks.

Auto-Negotiation

The RJ45 interface supports 10/100Mbps auto-negotiation, allowing the converter to automatically determine the appropriate Ethernet speed when connected to compatible network equipment.

In addition, Auto MDI/MDIX eliminates the need to worry about straight-through or crossover Ethernet cables.

Full and Half-Duplex Support

The MC100CM supports full-duplex and half-duplex operation on compatible connections. In full-duplex mode, it can provide efficient bidirectional communication across the network link.

Easy Plug-and-Play Installation

The TP-Link MC100CM Media Converter requires minimal configuration. Connect your Ethernet equipment to the RJ45 port, then connect the fiber link to the SC interface.

LED indicators provide convenient information about power, network connections and activity, making it easier to monitor the converter’s operating status.
