TP-Link Omada 10G Multi-Gigabit SFP mediálny konvertor

The MC420L media converter converts between 10GBASE-SR/LR fiber, 10GBASE-LRM fiber and 10GBASE-T copper, enabling extension of existing 10G Ethernet networks over fiber when used with a compatible SFP module. It supports IEEE 802.3ae 10GBASE-SR/LR and IEEE 802.3an 10GBASE-T standards and is suitable for point-to-point long-range links such as interbuilding connections, remote surveillance feeds and factory automation links.

Advantages

The MC420L provides flexible deployment options: standalone desktop placement or insertion into TP-Link’s MC1400 chassis. Front-panel LEDs give clear, real-time status information for quick monitoring. Using the appropriate multi-mode or single-mode SFP module allows adaptation to required fiber type and distance, while retaining standard 10G Ethernet compatibility on copper and fiber interfaces.

Key specifications

• Media types supported: 10GBASE-SR/LR (fiber), 10GBASE-LRM (fiber), 10GBASE-T (copper)
• Standards: IEEE 802.3ae (10GBASE-SR/LR), IEEE 802.3an (10GBASE-T)
• SFP module: requires compatible multi-mode or single-mode SFP for fiber links
• Deployment: standalone desktop or chassis-mounted (TP-Link MC1400)
• Indicators: front-panel status LEDs for link/activity monitoring

How to use

Install a compatible SFP module for the desired fiber type and insert it into the SFP slot. Connect the fiber cable to the SFP module and the copper 10GBASE-T cable to the RJ45 port for the other segment. Place the unit on a desktop or mount it in the MC1400 chassis if centralized installation is preferred. Verify link and activity using front-panel LEDs and ensure the SFP module specifications match the intended link distance.

Recommendations

Choose the correct SFP module (multi-mode or single-mode) according to required distance and fiber type, and verify cable quality and connector cleanliness to ensure reliable 10G links.
