The TP-Link MC220L bridges a 10\/100\/1000Mbps copper RJ45 network to a Gigabit fibre link using a standard SFP (mini-GBIC) module — giving you the flexibility to choose your fibre type and distance by simply swapping the SFP. It supports both multi-mode fibre (up to 0.55km) and single-mode fibre (up to 10km), making it a versatile fit for building-to-building links, campus networks, and data centre interconnects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 × 10\/100\/1000Mbps RJ45 copper port with Auto-Negotiation and Auto

Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the MC220L come with an SFP module included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The MC220L is sold without an SFP module. You will need to purchase a compatible SFP separately based on your fibre type (multi-mode or single-mode) and required distance. TP-Link TL-SM311LM (multi-mode) and TL-SM311LS (single-mode) are compatible options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat fibre connector type does the MC220L use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe connector type depends on the SFP module installed. Most standard Gigabit SFP modules use an LC duplex connector. Always confirm the connector type of your chosen SFP before purchasing fibre patch cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use third-party SFP modules with the MC220L?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MC220L is designed for use with TP-Link SFP modules. Compatibility with third-party SFPs is not guaranteed. For reliable operation, TP-Link-branded SFP modules are recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the MC220L be installed in the TL-MC1400 chassis?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The MC220L is compatible with the TP-Link TL-MC1400 14-slot rackmount chassis, allowing centralised, rack-based deployment alongside other TP-Link MC series converters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between multi-mode and single-mode fibre?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMulti-mode fibre (MMF) supports shorter distances (up to 0.55km with this converter) and is typically used within buildings or between nearby structures. Single-mode fibre (SMF) supports longer distances (up to 10km) and is used for building-to-building or campus-wide links. The MC220L supports both — the SFP module you install determines which type is used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes CCTV Guru ship Australia-wide?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
