What this product does
FC311A-2 (TL-FC311A-2) is a Gigabit media converter with a Gigabit RJ-45 port and a Gigabit SC fibre port that can convert between electrical and optical signals. Long-distance data transmission through fibre optic cable can be used in commercial scenarios such as park surveillance and wireless networks.

How the product works
The FC311A-2 (TL-FC311A-2) uses Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology and enables data to be sent and received over a distance of up to 2 km using only a single-mode fibre, saving customers half the cost of laying cables. The FC311A-2 transmits data at a wavelength of 1550 nm and receives data at a wavelength of 1310 nm via optical fibre. Therefore, the end device used in conjunction with the FC311A-2 should transmit data at a wavelength of 1310 nm and receive data at a wavelength of 1550 nm. TP-Link another media converter FC311B-2 is one of the products that can work together with FC311A-2.

Other features
In addition, this media converter can be used as a standalone device (no rack required) or with TP-Link’s FC1420 rack for Auto-MDI/MDI-X in the TX port, where the duplex mode is automatically negotiated.
