The MC112CS uses \u003cstrong\u003esingle-mode fibre\u003c\/strong\u003e with WDM technology (single fibre strand) and supports distances up to \u003cstrong\u003e20km\u003c\/strong\u003e. Choose the MC100CM when you have existing multi-mode fibre infrastructure; choose the MC112CS for longer single-mode fibre runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the MC100CM be rack-mounted?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The MC100CM is chassis-mountable and slots into TP-Link’s 19\" media converter chassis, allowing multiple converters to be installed in a rack for organised, multi-port fibre conversion deployments. It also operates as a standalone desktop unit without a chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat type of fibre cable does the MC100CM use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MC100CM uses \u003cstrong\u003emulti-mode fibre\u003c\/strong\u003e (OM1 or OM2) with an \u003cstrong\u003eSC\/UPC connector\u003c\/strong\u003e. It requires two fibre strands — one for transmit and one for receive — unlike WDM converters that use a single strand. Ensure your existing fibre infrastructure uses multi-mode cable before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use the MC100CM for CCTV or IP camera backhaul?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The MC100CM is well-suited for extending IP camera and CCTV network connections over existing multi-mode fibre runs, particularly between buildings or across large sites where copper Ethernet distances are insufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the maximum copper cable length on the RJ45 side?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RJ45 port supports standard Ethernet copper cable up to \u003cstrong\u003e100 metres\u003c\/strong\u003e using Cat3, Cat4, or Cat5 UTP, or 100Ω STP cabling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the MC100CM require a chassis to operate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The MC100CM operates as a fully standalone desktop unit with its own external power adapter. The chassis is optional and used only when rack-mounting multiple converters together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color:#eff6ff;padding:14px;border-left:5px solid #2563eb;margin-top:20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003eInstaller Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e The MC100CM requires \u003cstrong\u003etwo fibre strands\u003c\/strong\u003e (one Tx, one Rx) at 1310nm.
