The MC220L is a media converter designed to convert 1000BASE-SX/LX/LH fiber to 1000Base-T copper media or vice versa. Designed under IEEE 802.3 ab 1000Base-T and IEEE 802.3 z 1000Base-SX/LX/LH standards, the MC220L is designed for use with multi-mode/single-mode fiber cable utilizing the SC/LC-Type connector. It works at 850nm on both transmitting and receiving data when adopting multi-mode fiber and 1310nm on both transmitting and receiving data when adopting single-mode. Other features of this module include the ability to be used as a stand alone device (no chassis required) or with TP-LINK's 19"system chassis, Auto MDI/MDI-X for TX port, and front panel status LEDs.
The MC220L will transmit at extended fiber optic distances utilizing multi-mode fiber up to 0.55 kilometers( 0.342 miles) and 10 kilometers ( 6.2 miles) when utilizing single-mode fiber.
