Description
Extend Your Fibre Network Up to 20km with the TP-Link MC110CS
The TP-Link MC110CS is a compact, reliable single-mode media converter that bridges 100BASE-FX fibre and 100Base-TX copper networks at full wire speed. Whether you're connecting remote buildings, extending an existing fibre run, or integrating legacy copper infrastructure, the MC110CS delivers a seamless, standards-compliant solution — no chassis required.
Description
Designed to IEEE 802.3u standards, the MC110CS operates at 1310nm on both transmit and receive paths, supporting longwave (LX) laser specification. It accepts single-mode fibre via an SC-type connector and auto-negotiates duplex mode on the copper TX port. The unit can be deployed as a standalone device or installed into a TP-Link 19" system chassis for rack-mounted environments.
Key Features
- Converts 100BASE-FX fibre to 100Base-TX copper (and vice versa)
- Single-mode fibre with SC-type connector
- Extends fibre distance up to 20 kilometres
- Operates at 1310nm wavelength (longwave LX)
- Full wire speed forwarding — no throughput bottleneck
- Auto MDI/MDI-X on TX port — no crossover cable needed
- Auto-negotiation of duplex mode on TX port
- Front panel status LEDs for quick diagnostics
- Standalone or 19" chassis-compatible deployment
- Compliant with IEEE 802.3u 10/100Base-TX and 100Base-FX standards
Use Cases
-
Campus and multi-building networks — connect buildings separated by up to 20km over single-mode fibre
-
Industrial and commercial installations — integrate copper-based switches or NVRs into fibre backbone runs
-
Security and surveillance systems — extend IP camera feeds over fibre where copper distance limits apply
-
ISP and telco edge deployments — bridge fibre last-mile connections to copper customer premises equipment
-
Rack-mounted environments — deploy in TP-Link chassis for centralised, managed media conversion

Frequently Asked Questions
- What type of fibre cable does the MC110CS use?
- The MC110CS uses single-mode fibre with an SC-type connector. It is not compatible with multi-mode fibre.
- Does the MC110CS require a chassis to operate?
- No. It can be used as a standalone device. It is also compatible with TP-Link's 19" system chassis for rack-mounted deployments.
- What is the maximum fibre distance supported?
- The MC110CS supports single-mode fibre runs of up to 20 kilometres.
- Does it support auto-negotiation?
- Yes. The TX (copper) port supports auto-negotiation of duplex mode and Auto MDI/MDI-X, so no crossover cable is required.
- What wavelength does the MC110CS operate at?
- It operates at 1310nm on both transmit and receive, using a longwave (LX) laser specification.
- Is this product suitable for CCTV and IP camera installations?
- Yes. The MC110CS is well-suited for extending IP camera feeds over single-mode fibre where copper distance limits are exceeded.
- Does CCTV Guru ship this product Australia-wide?
- Yes. The MC110CS is stocked locally and ships Australia-wide.
