TP-Link Omada MC212CS-2 Gigabit WDM Media Converter — SC/UPC, 2 km
Extend a Gigabit Ethernet connection over a single strand of compatible single-mode fibre. MC212CS-2 converts between a fixed SC/UPC fibre interface and a 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet connection for links up to 2 km.
Confirm the exact model is MC212CS-2 before selecting the matching optical endpoint.
Use single-mode fibre with suitable SC/UPC connectors and a compatible optical budget.
Keep fibre ends clean and protected during installation.

Designed for your installation
Use one fibre strand for both directions
Wavelength Division Multiplexing carries transmit and receive traffic at different wavelengths over one single-mode fibre strand. MC212CS-2 transmits at 1310 nm and receives at 1550 nm, so the far-end device must have the complementary optical direction and a compatible link specification.
A fixed optical port simplifies selection
This model has an integrated SC/UPC optical interface, not an SFP cage. You do not install a separate SFP module. Match the fibre type, connector polish, wavelength pair and optical budget before ordering the converter and patch leads.
Bridge copper Ethernet to a fibre run
The RJ45 connection supports 10/100/1000 Mbps with auto MDI/MDIX. Fibre can carry the link beyond a normal copper Ethernet run, subject to the rated 2 km reach and the optical loss of the installation. The converter does not add routing, Wi-Fi or PoE power.
Plan both ends of the link
Use a correctly matched WDM endpoint, suitable single-mode fibre and clean SC/UPC terminations. Verify continuity and loss before commissioning. Avoid connecting mismatched optical transmitters or treating SC/APC and SC/UPC connectors as interchangeable.

Frequently asked questions
Does the MC212CS-2 accept an SFP module?
No. It uses a fixed Gigabit SC/UPC fibre port, alongside a 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet port.
Can I use any identical WDM converter at the other end?
The remote endpoint needs complementary transmit and receive wavelengths and matching fibre and speed specifications. Check both ends of the proposed link.
Are fibre cables included?
The official package list includes the converter, power adapter and installation guide. Fibre cabling is not listed as included.
