The TP-Link MC200CM is a high-performance Gigabit media converter designed to bridge 1000BASE-T copper networks with 1000BASE-SX fibre optic infrastructure. It utilises a Shortwave (SX) laser at 850nm and an SC-type connector, making it an ideal solution for extending network reach over multi-mode fibre in enterprise or professional environments.
