Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does this WDM media converter differ from standard fiber ethernet switches?
A: The TL-FC111A-20 WDM media converter uses wavelength division multiplexing to transmit bidirectional data over a single fiber, while fiber ethernet switches typically require separate transmit and receive fibers, making this solution more cost-effective for point-to-point connections.
Q: What's the advantage of the 20km range capability?
A: The 20km range enables long-distance connections without signal repeaters, perfect for connecting remote buildings, campus networks, or metropolitan area networks where standard copper network cable solutions would be impractical due to distance limitations.
Q: Is this compatible with existing network infrastructure?
A: Yes. The RJ45 port connects directly to standard ethernet equipment, while the SC fiber port works with existing single-mode fiber infrastructure. This makes it an ideal solution for integrating with network switch fiber optic systems.
Q: What type of fiber cable is required for the SC fiber port?
A: The SC fiber port requires single-mode fiber cables with SC connectors. The WDM technology allows bidirectional transmission over a single fiber strand, reducing the fiber infrastructure requirements compared to traditional dual-fiber solutions.
