MC200CM Gigabit Multi-Mode Media Converter

The TP-Link MC200CM is a highly sought-after Gigabit Multi-Mode Media Converter, crucial for extending high-speed Ethernet connections over fiber. As a significant distributor of TP-Link products in the Delhi NCR region, Advance Star India is indeed a prime source for finding deals on the MC200CM, particularly if you’re looking in Faridabad.

Here’s a detailed look at the TP-Link MC200CM’s features and how you can find deals:

TP-Link MC200CM Key Features:

• Gigabit Ethernet Conversion: This is its core capability. It converts 1000BASE-SX fiber signals to 1000Base-T copper media, or vice versa. This enables you to connect Gigabit Ethernet devices (like high-speed switches, servers, or workstations) to a multi-mode fiber optic backbone.
• Multi-Mode Fiber Compatibility: Specifically engineered for use with multi-mode fiber optic cable. It utilizes an SC-Type connector, which is a common connector for multi-mode fiber installations.
• Extended Distance (Medium Range): While not for inter-city distances, it significantly extends the reach of Gigabit Ethernet. The MC200CM can extend network distances up to:
  • 550 meters (approx. 1,800 feet) using 50/125µm multi-mode fiber.
  • 220 meters (approx. 720 feet) using 62.5/125µm multi-mode fiber. This makes it ideal for campus environments, large office buildings, or between adjacent structures.
• Wavelength: It operates at a shortwave (SX) laser specification, working at 850nm for both transmitting and receiving data.
• Plug-and-Play Simplicity:There’s no complex software setup; you simply connect your Ethernet and fiber cables, and the device functions immediately.
• Auto-Negotiation (Half/Full-Duplex): It supports auto-negotiation of half-duplex / full-duplex transfer mode for the RJ45 (copper) port, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of network devices.
• LED Indicators: Front panel LEDs (PWR, Link/Act) provide clear visual status updates, making it easy to monitor network activity and diagnose basic connectivity issues.
• Compact Design: Its small form factor (approximately 94.5 x 73 x 27 mm) allows for flexible deployment in various settings, including tight spaces.
