Package Contents
Before starting using the products, make sure what you have is what you
ordered. The Converter includes:
¾One Converter
¾One AC-DC Power Adapter (DC9V/600mA)
¾One User Guide
1. Introduction
MC200CM, MC210CS and MC220L are Gigabit Ethernet Media
Converters. The FX port of MC220L supports hot-swappable.
The converter mediates between a 1000Base-TX segment and a
1000Base-X segment. It is primarily designed for larger bandwidth, and
higher speed demanding workgroups that require expansion of the
Gigabit Ethernet network

¾AUTO: The FX port operates in Auto-Negotiation mode.
Note:
Be sure the opposite end is using the same setting. When using two
converters at the same time, the two converters must be set to FORCE
mode. When connected to other products, such as TL- SL2210WEB or
TL-SL2428WEB, the converter must be set to Auto- Negotiation mode.
We suggest leaving the switches on AUTO.
Please reset the converter after configuring the switches. Then the
change would take effect.
4. Installation Guides
4.1 Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter:
¾The SC fiber connector of MC200CM transmits/receives data by
850nm short wave laser on multi-mode fiber.
¾The SC fiber connector of MC210CS transmits/receives data by
1310nm short wave laser on single-mode fiber.
Transmits and receives data on different fibers

Note:
Either two MC200CM or two MC210CS could cooperate. MC220L can
be plugged in with two kinds of SFP modules, single-mode or
multi-mode.
Plug the SFP module into MC220L
Transmits and receives data between two MC220L
Note:
Two MC220L with the same SFP module could cooperate.
7
Transmits and receives data between MC220L and
MC200CM/MC210CS
Note:
MC220L could be connected to MC200CM or MC210CS, however, the
SFP module in MC220L must use the same mode and the same
wavelength as the opposite end. (Please refer to the table below) And
the connection fiber must be LC-SC fiber.
Model No. MC220L connect with MC200CM MC210CS
