Media Converters—Simple Way to Overcome the Distance

TP-Link offers 100 Mbps and 1000 Mbps media converters to realize reliable network connections, making the long-distance network deployments of surveillance cameras in businesses, factories, and parks simpler.

Flexible Selections of Distance and Speed

A wide range of media converters are available, offering different maximum transmission distances of between 2 km to 20 km. Different speeds provide flexible deployment options.

**Cost Effective Solution with WDM***

WDM (Wave Division Multiplexing) technology enables you to transmit and receive data over one single fiber strand instead of two.

Stable Network Transmission

The stability of fiber transmission guarantees our stable monitoring of sensitive areas and point-to-point connections.

Innovative Combination of PoE and Fiber**

The PoE output port of media converter provides a direct data and power connection to the IP camera, making remote camera deployment easier and more convenient.

100 Mbps Media Converters Benefit Flexible Surveillance

TP-Link Fast Ethernet Media Converters are designed to address the needs of flexible long-range surveillance deployment with optical fibers. It provides an economical path towards extending the distance of an existing network.

Ideal for Flexible Surveillance Deployment

Reverse PoE Switches—Simplify Installation for PoE Devices

The 8-Port Gigabit Managed Reverse PoE Switch TL-RP108GE has seven gigabit PoE input ports that allow it to receive power from user outlets via PoE injectors. Equipped with one PoE output port, the switch can supply power to CPEs and similar devices via Port 8. The DC output port supports both 5 V and 12 V optional output voltage and can be used to power devices like ONTs. Enhanced with basic management features like VLAN and QoS, TL-RP108GE shares the same software functions with TP-Link Easy Smart switches.
