TP-Link TL-MC102 Gigabit Multi-Mode Media Converter

SKU CH-T6P8-GFN56 MPN TL-MC102

Converts 1000BASE-SX fiber to 1000Base-T copper over multi-mode SC links up to .55 km

  • Converts fibre to copper at gigabit speed via 1× 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 port
  • Auto-negotiates duplex mode for hassle-free link setup
  • Extends multi-mode fibre reach up to 0.55km
  • Operates at 850nm wavelength for SX laser compliance
  • Meets IEEE 802.3ab and 802.3z standards for interoperability

Media converter for gigabit fiber links

The TL-MC102 converts 1000BASE-SX multi-mode fiber to 1000Base-T copper using an SC connector. It operates at 850nm wavelength and supports auto-negotiation on the RJ45 port. The unit complies with IEEE 802.3ab and IEEE 802.3z standards.

Replaces direct copper runs beyond 100 metres

When copper cabling exceeds its 100 metre limit, this converter extends the link up to 0.55km over multi-mode fiber. The jump is worth it for campus or building-to-building connections where recabling with single-mode is not justified. It does not suit applications needing longer reach or single-mode fiber.

Sustained wire-speed forwarding under load

The converter maintains full wire speed forwarding across the 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 and fiber ports during continuous traffic. Auto-MDI/MDIX and duplex negotiation prevent port configuration errors that cause collisions. Front panel LEDs give immediate link status without management software.

Questions about this item

Which fiber connector does the TL-MC102 use for multi-mode cable?

The TL-MC102 uses an SC-type connector for multi-mode fiber at 850 nm wavelength.

How do I connect the RJ45 port and avoid a wiring mistake?

Plug the copper cable into the 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 port; Auto-MDI/MDIX handles crossover automatically so no special patch cord is needed.

When should I plan to replace the SFP transceiver in this converter?

The TL-MC102 has a fixed 1000BASE-SX transceiver, so there is no separate SFP module to swap; replace the whole unit if the optical link fails.
