The TP-Link MC100CM is a media converter designed to interconnect multimode fiber optic networks with copper cable infrastructures. It operates under IEEE 802.3u standards, enabling bidirectional conversion between the 100Base-FX and 100Base-TX standards. This device operates at a wavelength of 1310 nm and uses an SC-type fiber connector, facilitating the extension of connectivity in environments where overcoming the distance limitations of traditional cabling is required.
Regarding its operation, the unit supports Half-Duplex and Full-Duplex transfer modes on the fiber port, while the copper port features duplex mode auto-negotiation and Auto MDI/MDI-X functionality. Its structure allows for use as a standalone device or integrated into a 19-inch rack. The device dimensions are 94.5 mm wide, 73 mm deep, and 27 mm high, featuring a black finish with status LED indicators on the front panel.
