TP-Link TL-FC311A-2 Gigabit WDM Media Converter
Convert, extend, and secure your long-distance networking infrastructure with the TP-Link TL-FC311A-2 Gigabit WDM Media Converter. Built to facilitate commercial-grade fiber deployments—such as campus enterprise networks, park surveillance systems, and remote office connections—this unmanaged media converter seamlessly bridges standard copper RJ45 connections and single-mode optical fiber lines.
Key Features
- High-Speed Gigabit Networking: Features 1× 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-Negotiation RJ45 port (supporting Auto-MDI/MDIX) and 1× Gigabit SC Fiber Port to handle bandwidth-intensive tasks without lag.
- Efficient Single-Strand WDM Tech: Employs Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) to transmit and receive data over a single physical optical fiber strand. This reduces installation complexity and cuts physical cabling costs by 50% compared to traditional dual-strand networks.
- Long-Range Data Transmission: Securely bypasses the 100-meter copper transmission limit, converting and extending gigabit signals up to 2 km over single-mode fiber cabling.
- Optimized Wavelength Pairing: Transmits data at 1550 nm (TX) and receives data at 1310 nm (RX). Designed to seamlessly pair with its physical counterpart terminal device, the TL-FC311B-2 (which transmits at 1310 nm and receives at 1550 nm).
- Versatile Mounting Options: Operates as a compact, standalone desktop unit or integrates cleanly into standard enterprise environments using TP-Link's TL-FC1420 rackmount chassis.
- Zero Configuration Setup: Enjoy effortless, plug-and-play installation with built-in auto-negotiation for Half-Duplex and Full-Duplex transfer modes.
