TP-Link MC220L - User Manual

© 2017 TP-Link 7106507859 REV4.0.0
Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter
Note: MC220L needs to be plugged in with an SFP module to work normally. It is recommended to use a TP-Link SFP module on MC220L, because other vendors’
SFP modules may be incompatible.

Note:
1. Either two MC200CMs or two MC210CSs can work cooperatively. Two MC220Ls with the same SFP module can work cooperatively.
2. The MC220L can also cooperate with an MC200CM or an MC210CS, however, the mode and wavelength of the SFP module used in MC220L must be the same
as the opposite end.
3. Connect the TX port of one converter to the RX port of the other using a ber cable.
