Overview
- The TP-Link Omada Gigabit WDM Media Converter enables businesses to extend Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over single-fibre runs, eliminating the need for dual-fibre systems. Available in two distance variants—up to 2 km or up to 20 km—it adapts to various network topologies and budget requirements.
Using WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technology, the converter transmits and receives data simultaneously on a single fibre strand, reducing infrastructure costs whilst maintaining full Gigabit performance. Auto-negotiation features ensure plug-and-play deployment with minimal configuration.
Ideal for connecting branch offices, remote sites, or campus buildings, this converter is a practical solution for businesses expanding network reach without major cabling investments.

FAQs
What is WDM technology and how does it benefit my network?
WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) allows data to be transmitted and received simultaneously on a single fibre strand by using different wavelengths. This reduces cabling infrastructure costs whilst maintaining full Gigabit performance.
Do I need two media converters to set up a fibre connection?
Yes, you need one converter at each end of the fibre link—one to convert Ethernet to fibre and another to convert fibre back to Ethernet.
What is the difference between the MC211CS-20 and MC211CS-2 models?
The MC211CS-20 extends connectivity up to 20 km over single-fibre, whilst the MC211CS-2 supports up to 2 km. Choose based on your distance requirements.
Will the converter work with existing single-mode or multimode fibre?
Refer to the specific model documentation to confirm fibre compatibility, as WDM converters are typically designed for either single-mode or multimode fibre depending on the variant.
Is configuration required, or is it plug-and-play?
The TP-Link Omada converter features auto-negotiation and Auto-MDI/MDIX, enabling plug-and-play deployment with no manual configuration needed.
What warranty does TP-Link provide?
All TP-Link Omada media converters include a 3-year manufacturer warranty.
