Overview
- The TP-Link TL-FC111PB-20 is a compact WDM media converter that bridges copper Ethernet and single-mode fibre networks. By using Wave Division Multiplexing technology, it transmits and receives data over a single fibre strand, reducing cabling requirements and deployment costs compared to traditional dual-fibre solutions.
Designed specifically for remote camera and IoT device deployment, the integrated 802.3af PoE output eliminates the need for separate power supplies at remote locations. This is particularly valuable for surveillance systems, wireless access points, and other networked devices positioned far from power infrastructure.
With a maximum range of 20 km over standard single-mode fibre, the converter extends network reach far beyond traditional copper limits (100 m). The wide operating temperature range (0–50°C) and rugged construction make it suitable for industrial, outdoor, and environmentally demanding installations.
TP-Link's three-year warranty provides peace of mind for mission-critical network infrastructure projects.

FAQs
What is WDM and why does it matter?
WDM (Wave Division Multiplexing) allows the converter to transmit and receive data over a single fibre strand by using different wavelengths (1310 nm for TX, 1550 nm for RX). This reduces cabling costs and complexity compared to traditional two-fibre solutions.
Can this converter power remote cameras?
Yes. The integrated 802.3af PoE output provides up to 15.4 W of power, suitable for powering compatible IP cameras, access points, and other low-power networked devices at distances up to 20 km.
What is the maximum distance this converter can operate?
The TL-FC111PB-20 can operate up to 20 km over 9/125 μm single-mode fibre, well beyond the 100 m limit of standard copper Ethernet cabling.
Is this converter suitable for outdoor installations?
Yes. It operates reliably across a wide temperature range (0–50°C) and is designed for industrial and outdoor environments. Ensure appropriate weatherproofing of the device enclosure.
Do I need two fibres to use this converter?
No. The WDM technology allows bidirectional communication over a single fibre strand, reducing installation costs and complexity.
What modes of transmission does it support?
The converter supports auto-negotiation of Half-Duplex and Full-Duplex transfer modes, automatically adapting to the network requirements.
What warranty does TP-Link provide?
The TL-FC111PB-20 includes a 36-month (3-year) manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
