MC200CM Gigabit Multi-Mode Media Converter

Overview

The MC200CM Gigabit Multi-Mode Media Converter is designed to extend Ethernet connections over multi-mode fiber optic cables. It enables seamless 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet signal conversion between copper (RJ45) and fiber optic (SC multi-mode), ensuring reliable and high-speed data transmission over distances of up to 550 meters. This device is ideal for businesses requiring fast, secure, and interference-free fiber network extensions within buildings or campuses.

How to Use / Install

  1. Unbox the MC200CM and check for included accessories (power adapter, user manual).

  2. Connect an Ethernet cable from your router, switch, or network device to the RJ45 port of the MC200CM.

  3. Connect a multi-mode fiber optic cable to the SC fiber port on the MC200CM.

  4. Ensure fiber compatibility:

    • Uses multi-mode fiber for short-distance connections.

    • Supports 850 nm wavelength.

    • Transmission distance of up to 550 meters.

  5. Plug in the power adapter and turn on the device.

  6. Confirm LED indicators for power, link/activity, and data transmission status.
