TL-MC-1S1S

Introduction

TechLogix media converters adapt fiber signals to a variety of different formats and/or cable types.

The TL-MC-1S1S features two SFP ports (SFP module sold separately), effectively adapting signals between different fiber types. In most applications, the TL-MC-1S1S adapts single mode fiber to multimode fiber and vice versa. 

The MC-1S1S supports multimode fiber when paired with a multimode SFP module and single mode fiber when paired with a single mode SFP module.

System Connection

There are several applications suitable for the TL-MC-1S1S, here are a few examples:

Example 1 - convert from Multimode FO cable to Single Mode FO Cable (or vice versa)

In this example, two network switches need to be connected using fiber optic cable, but there some of the cable is MMF and some is SMF.

Example 2 - extend LAN signal using a media converter.

In this example, the total length of the MMF fiber optic cable exceeds the maximum length for a single link using SFP modules.  In this case, the media converter is acting as a range extender for the fiber optic cable link.

Example 3 - change from single strand cable link to 2 strand cable link

In this example, a portion of the cable has only a single strand fiber available.  Using a standard BiDi SFP module in conjunction with the media converter will allow this portion to work with the cable available.  Currently, TechLogix Networx does not offer a BiDi module, but they are available from other sources.  Just be sure to match the SFP specifications with the standards of the TL-MC-1S1S (IEEE 802.3z/AB 1000Base-T/SX/LX/ZX)
