TP-Link Omada 10/100 Mbps WDM Media Converter with 1-Port PoE, 20 km

TP-Link 10/100Mbps WDM Media Converter with 1-Port PoE (TL-FC111PB-20) - 5 Years Local Warranty

The TL-FC111PB-20 does two jobs at the far end of a fibre run: it converts single-mode fibre back to a 10/100 Mbps copper port, and it powers the device plugged into that port over 802.3af PoE. For a camera on a pole 20 km from the nearest switch room, that removes the need for a separate power source at the remote end.

Data and Power at the Far End of the Fibre

Ordinary media converters solve distance but leave the remote device needing mains power — which usually means an electrician, a weatherproof enclosure and a socket that someone must maintain. The TL-FC111PB-20's RJ45 port is a PoE port: TP-Link states its 802.3af PoE output makes remote camera deployment easier. The converter itself is fed from a 48 V/0.5 A supply, and passes power on to the connected device over the same cable that carries its data.

Twenty Kilometres on One Single-Mode Strand

This is a WDM unit: it transmits at 1310 nm and receives at 1550 nm, so both directions of the link share a single strand of 9/125 µm single-mode fibre rather than the usual pair. TP-Link publishes a reach of up to 20 km. On leased dark fibre, where cost scales with strand count, and on estate or campus runs where fibre is finite, halving the strands per link is often what makes the design affordable.

Made for Perimeter Cameras, Gates and Remote Panels

The combination of long reach, a single strand and PoE output is a security and building-services pattern: a camera at a perimeter fence, an intercom at a gate, a reader at a remote car park, a sensor gateway on a rooftop. The copper port is Auto MDI/MDIX 10/100 Mbps, which is all a single camera or panel needs, and the 0-50 °C operating range suits an unventilated enclosure better than a typical desktop switch would.

Order the Matching A Unit for the Head End

WDM converters are directional and sold individually. This unit transmits at 1310 nm and receives at 1550 nm, so the head end must do the reverse; TP-Link names the TL-FC111A-20 as a product that cooperates with the TL-FC111PB-20. Both ends must also share the same distance rating. Tell us how many remote points you are feeding and we will quote both ends of each link.

Ideal For

Singapore security and building-services integrators powering a remote camera, intercom or reader across a long fibre run, estate and campus operators connecting perimeter points, and IT teams who need data and power delivered by one box at the far end.
