Overview
- The TP-Link Omada Gigabit WDM Media Converter is a network extension device that allows you to transmit and receive data over a single fibre strand using Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology. This eliminates the need for dual-fibre installations, reducing cabling costs while maintaining full Gigabit Ethernet performance.
Available in two distance variants, the MC211CS-2 and MC212CS-2 models extend network reach up to 2 km, while the MC211CS-20 and MC212CS-20 models support distances up to 20 km. Both variants feature auto-negotiation capabilities for Half-Duplex and Full-Duplex transfer modes, Auto-MDI/MDIX support for simplified deployment, and backwards compatibility with existing Gigabit infrastructure.
Ideal for Australian businesses requiring network connectivity between remote buildings, data centres, or campus locations, the media converter offers a practical, cost-effective solution for fibre network extension without requiring separate transmit and receive fibres.

FAQs
What is the difference between the 2 km and 20 km models?
The MC211CS-2 and MC212CS-2 models support fibre distances up to 2 km, suitable for connecting nearby buildings or short-range network extension. The MC211CS-20 and MC212CS-20 models extend distances up to 20 km, ideal for remote sites or larger campus deployments.
How does WDM technology work in this media converter?
WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) allows the converter to transmit and receive data simultaneously over a single fibre strand by using different light wavelengths. This eliminates the need for dual-fibre cabling, reducing installation costs and complexity.
Can I use this converter with both single-mode and multimode fibre?
The product data provided does not specify fibre compatibility details. Please contact our sales team to confirm compatibility with your specific fibre type and installation requirements.
What does Auto-MDI/MDIX mean?
Auto-MDI/MDIX automatically detects and adjusts to the cable type (straight or crossover), allowing you to use either standard or crossover Ethernet cables without manual reconfiguration.
Is a matching converter required on both ends?
WDM media converters typically require matching units on both ends of the fibre link to maintain symmetric transmission and reception. Consult our technical support team to confirm pairing requirements for your specific models.
What warranty is included?
The TP-Link Omada Gigabit WDM Media Converter includes a 3-year (36-month) manufacturer warranty covering defects in material and workmanship.
Can this converter be integrated with TP-Link Omada management?
The product is part of the TP-Link Omada ecosystem, which supports centralised network management. Contact our team for integration details with your Omada management setup.
