Description
Gigabit WDM Media Converter - TP-Link TL-FC311B-2
🌐 Extend your Gigabit Ethernet connection over a single fibre over distances up to 2km
🌟 Description on wifishop.co.uk style
TheTP-Link TL-FC311B-2 is a Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) media converter that provides Gigabit connectivity between an RJ45 port and an SC port over single-mode fibre. Using efficient WDM technology, it transmits and receives data simultaneously over a single fibre, making a bi-directional connection between two locations up to 2 km apart - ideal for video surveillance, outdoor access points or building connectivity(tp-link.com).
