Whether you're connecting buildings on a campus, linking remote offices, or extending your network backbone, the MC211CS-20 delivers stable, high-speed connectivity without compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe MC211CS-20 converts a standard RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet connection to a single-mode fibre SC connector, enabling long-distance data transmission at full Gigabit speeds. It operates on a single fibre strand using WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technology — transmitting at 1310nm and receiving at 1550nm — making it a cost-effective solution for fibre infrastructure where dual-strand runs aren't available or practical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit is plug-and-play with no software configuration required, making it straightforward for both professional installers and IT staff to deploy. It is also compatible with the Omada MC220L (the complementary converter for the other end of the link), and can be rack-mounted using the optional MC100CM chassis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConverts Gigabit Ethernet (RJ45) to single-mode fibre (SC connector)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTransmission distance up to 20km over single-mode fibre\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-fibre WDM technology — Tx: 1310nm \/ Rx: 1550nm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull-duplex Gigabit speeds (1000Mbps)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAuto-negotiation on the RJ45 port (10\/100\/1000Mbps)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLink fault pass-through (LFP) for end-to-end fault detection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlug-and-play — no software or configuration required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLED indicators for power, fibre link, and Ethernet link status\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with MC100CM rack-mount chassis (up to 16 units)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact desktop form factor with external power adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eUse Cases\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCampus and multi-building networks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Connect separate buildings over existing single-mode fibre runs without laying additional cable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISP and carrier last-mile deployments:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extend fibre to the premises where copper handoff is required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndustrial and warehouse environments:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use fibre to eliminate EMI interference across large facilities.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCCTV and IP surveillance backbones:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provide a stable, long-distance uplink for NVR or switch infrastructure over fibre.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eData centre interconnects:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bridge fibre backbone segments to copper-based server or switch ports.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;
