The MC111CS is a media converter designed to convert 100BASE-FX fibre to 10/100Base-TX copper media or vice versa. Adopting WDM technology, MC111CS takes only one fibre cable to transmit and receive data, which will save half cabling cost for you. Designed under IEEE 802.3u 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX standards, the MC111CS is designed for use with single-mode fibre cable utilising the SC-Type connector. The MC111CS supports longwave (LX) laser specification at a full wire speed forwarding rate. It works at 1550nm on transferring data and at 1310nm on receiving data. So the other end device to cooperate with the MC111CS should work at 1310nm on transferring data and at 1550nm on receiving data. Another TP-LINK?s media converter MC112CS is just one of the examples to cooperate with MC111CS.

Other features of this module include the ability to be used as a standalone device (no chassis required) or with TP-Link?s TL-MC1400 chassis, Auto MDI/MDI-X for TX port, Auto negotiation of duplex mode on TX port. The MC111CS will transmit at extended fibre optic distances utilising single-mode fibre up to 20 kilometres.
