Product identity

The TP-Link MC220L is a Gigabit Ethernet media converter that bridges one SFP slot and one RJ45 port. It serves network engineers and installers who need to extend copper links over fiber at 1 Gbps full duplex.

Installation notes

The unit ships with an external power adapter and supports Auto MDI/MDIX on the RJ45 side, so no crossover cable is required. The SFP port accepts hot-swappable MiniGBIC modules; ensure the module matches the fiber type and distance before powering the converter.

Distance specification

Multi-mode fiber reaches up to 0.55 km while single-mode fiber reaches up to 10 km at 1 Gbps. Buyers needing longer single-mode spans or higher data rates must select a different converter.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the MC220L is working correctly after connecting the fiber and RJ45 cables?

The PWR LED shows power is present, the LINK LED lights when both the SFP and RJ45 ports have established a 1 Gbps link, and the RX LED blinks as data is received.

What comes in the box with the MC220L and what must I purchase separately?

The converter and an external power adapter are included; a compatible SFP MiniGBIC module and the fiber patch cable (multi-mode or single-mode) are not included.

Which fiber type should I choose for the MC220L to reach the distance I need?

Use multi-mode fiber for runs up to .55 km or single-mode fiber for runs up to 10 km; both are supported by the SFP slot.
