Note:
-
Either two TL-MC101 converters or two TL-MC102 converters can work cooperatively. Two TL-MC200 converters with a pair of SFP module can work cooperatively.
-
One TL-MC200 can also cooperate with one TL-MC101 or one TL-MC102. However, the mode and wavelength of the SFP module used in TL-MC200 must be the same as the opposite end.
-
Connect the TX port of one converter to the RX port of the other using a fiber cable.
