TP-Link MC100CM 10/100Mbps Multi-Mode Media Converter – Fiber to Ethernet Converter (SC, 1310nm, up to 2km)

The TP-Link MC100CM is a compact and reliable multi-mode fiber media converter designed to connect 100BASE-FX fiber to 100BASE-TX copper Ethernet networks. Compliant with IEEE 802.3u standards, it delivers seamless integration between fiber-optic and Ethernet segments, using an SC-type connector. Ideal for short to medium-range fiber links, the MC100CM supports data transmission distances of up to 2 km (1.2 miles) over multi-mode fiber at 1310nm wavelength.

Product Features

Efficient Fiber to Ethernet Media Conversion

Easily converts 100BASE-FX fiber connections to 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet, allowing integration of high-speed fiber networks into traditional copper infrastructures.

Medium-Distance Fiber Connectivity

Utilizes multi-mode fiber to transmit data up to 2 km, making it perfect for office buildings, campus networks, and factory environments.

Smart Network Configuration

• Auto-negotiation for Half or Full Duplex modes on the RJ45 port.
• Auto MDI/MDI-X eliminates the need for crossover cables.

Reliable and Safe Operation

• LED indicators for monitoring power and activity.
• External power supply and low power consumption ensure energy efficiency and easy maintenance.

Flexible Deployment

Use as a standalone unit or integrate into a TP-Link 19” system chassis for centralized media conversion in large networks.
