Overview
- The TP-Link Omada Gigabit WDM Media Converter is a compact, reliable solution for extending Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over single-strand fibre optic cables. Using Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology, it transmits and receives data simultaneously on a single fibre, eliminating the need for dual-strand installations and reducing cabling costs.
Available in two distance variants, the MC211CS-20 and MC212CS-20 extend connectivity up to 20 km, making them ideal for campus networks and distributed office environments. The MC211CS-2 and MC212CS-2 models support distances up to 2 km for shorter-range deployments. Both variants feature auto-negotiation for half-duplex and full-duplex modes, ensuring compatibility with existing network equipment.
The 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 port supports Auto-MDI/MDIX, automatically detecting and adapting to cable types without manual configuration. This plug-and-play functionality reduces installation complexity and support overhead, making it a practical choice for IT teams managing multi-site networks.

FAQs
What is WDM and how does it work in this media converter?
WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) allows simultaneous transmission and reception of data over a single fibre strand by using different wavelengths. This eliminates the need for dual-strand fibre, reducing cabling costs and complexity.
What is the difference between the MC211CS-20 and MC211CS-2 models?
Both models offer identical functionality. The main difference is maximum distance: the MC211CS-20 extends up to 20 km, while the MC211CS-2 extends up to 2 km. Choose based on your required coverage distance.
Is Auto-MDI/MDIX support included?
Yes. The converter automatically detects and adapts to cable types (straight or crossover), eliminating the need for specific cable configurations.
Can this converter work with existing Gigabit network equipment?
Yes. The 10/100/1000 Mbps port supports auto-negotiation and auto duplex mode detection, ensuring compatibility with standard Gigabit Ethernet devices.
How many converters do I need to connect two locations?
You need two converters minimum—one at each location—connected via a single-strand fibre optic cable to create a bidirectional link.
What warranty is provided?
TP-Link provides a 3-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
Does this converter require external power?
Product specifications provided do not include power requirements. Contact Hyetech Australia or TP-Link support for detailed power specifications.
