Gigabit Ethernet to Fiber Conversion: Converts electrical Ethernet signals from an RJ45 port to optical signals for transmission over fiber optic cable, and vice-versa. This allows for long-distance network extensions where traditional copper cabling is insufficient.
WDM Technology (Wavelength Division Multiplexing): Adopts WDM technology to transmit and receive data over a single strand of single-mode fiber. This effectively doubles the capacity of a fiber optic cable, significantly reducing cable deployment costs by requiring only half the fiber infrastructure.
Long Distance Transmission: Extends fiber distance up to 20 km (12.4 miles) over 9/125 μm single-mode fiber, making it suitable for extending networks across campuses, between buildings, or for long-range surveillance applications.
Complementary Wavelengths: The TL-FC311A-20 transmits data at a wavelength of 1550 nm (TX) and receives data at 1310 nm (RX). It is designed to work in conjunction with a compatible media converter (such as TP-Link TL-FC311B-20), which transmits at 1310 nm and receives at 1550 nm, to complete the fiber link.
Auto-Negotiation (RJ45 Port): The 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 port supports Auto-Negotiation for speed and Auto-MDI/MDIX, eliminating the need for crossover cables. It also supports auto-negotiation of Half-Duplex/Full-Duplex transfer mode.
Standalone or Rack-Mountable: Can be used as a standalone desktop device or integrated into TP-Link's TL-FC1420 rack for centralized power supply and management in multi-converter deployments.
Plug and Play: Offers hassle-free installation with no configuration required. Simply connect your Ethernet cable, fiber optic cable, and power adapter for instant connectivity.
LED Indicators: Features PWR and Link/Act LEDs for easy monitoring of power status and network activity.
