What this product does: The TL-FC311A-2 is a Gigabit media converter featuring a Gigabit RJ-45 port and a Gigabit SC fiber optic port, capable of converting between electrical and optical signals. Data transmission over long distances via fiber optic can be applied to commercial scenarios such as park security monitoring and wireless networking.

How this product works: The TL-FC311A-2 utilizes WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technology, enabling the sending and receiving of data over distances of up to 2 km using just a single-mode fiber, thus saving customers half the cost of cable deployment. The TL-FC311A-2 transmits data at a wavelength of 1550 nm and receives data at a wavelength of 1310 nm on an optical fiber. Therefore, the device used in conjunction with the TL-FC311A-2 should send data at a wavelength of 1310 nm and receive data at a wavelength of 1550 nm. Another media converter, the TL-FC311B-2, is one of the products that can work with the TL-FC311A-2.

Other features: Additionally, this media converter can be used as a standalone device (no rack required) or with the TP-Link TL-FC1420 rack for auto-MDI/MDI-X on the TX port, where the duplex mode is negotiated automatically.
