Network media converter Cudy MC220 — Gigabit (1000 Mbps) single-mode SFP 1310 nm, 1x RJ-45, 1x SFP, black

The Cudy MC220 is a compact network media converter that converts between Gigabit Ethernet and single-mode fiber at 1310 nm, supporting data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and a maximum fiber distance of 20,000 m. Housed in a metal case, it is built for reliable indoor or sheltered outdoor use and operates from 100–240 V with low power consumption.

Advantages

The device offers multi-protection features including lightning protection and strong interference suppression, along with high-speed and stable signal conversion. High-visibility LED indicators provide at-a-glance status for fiber and Ethernet speeds, link/activity, duplex mode and power. The metal housing improves heat dissipation and durability. Additional technical strengths include a mean time between failures greater than 50,000 hours, a 2 Mbit buffer RAM and support for 9 KB jumbo frames. The unit supports hot-swap operation and is plug-and-play with no additional software required.

Suitable for

• Extending Gigabit Ethernet connections over long single-mode fiber links (up to 20,000 m)
• Connecting network equipment with SFP fiber interfaces to copper RJ-45 ports
• Indoor and sheltered outdoor installations requiring durable metal housing
• Environments needing low-power, simple plug-and-play media conversion

How to use

Install an appropriate single-mode SFP module into the device's SFP slot and connect the fiber cable. Plug the Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 port and connect the unit to mains power (100–240 V). The converter is plug-and-play and supports hot-swap, so it will begin operating once power and connections are made. Monitor the LED indicators to verify fiber and Ethernet speeds, link/activity and duplex status.

Recommendations

Place the media converter in a ventilated location to ensure adequate heat dissipation from the metal housing, avoid prolonged exposure to direct outdoor conditions, and use certified single-mode fiber and compatible SFP modules for reliable long-distance links.
