Before you believe a bad review about us

We would like to respond openly to every negative review about us. Many are posted anonymously, so we cannot reach those customers directly. This open letter is our reply, and we would be grateful if you took a moment to read it.

But here is what a one-star review will never tell you:

  • We import from 70+ official distributors. That is why you pay far less than local retail — and why delivery takes longer. We publish the date before you pay, never after.
  • You can pay only when your goods land in Johannesburg. Pay on Arrival, no full payment up front. Ask yourself what scammer offers that.
  • Nobody has ever lost money with us. You get the product, or you get a refund. There is no third option, and there never has been.
  • We are part of the ITwork group — ten years trading in Europe, nine stores, thousands of positive reviews.
  • Johannesburg and Cape Town stores open this year — real shelves, real stock, walk in and buy the same day.

We are not satisfied with our review scores, and we are not going to fix them by hiding anything. We are fixing them by being faster, clearer and easier to reach than any reason to complain.

The TP-LINK MC220L is a standalone media converter that converts 1000BASE-SX/LX/LH fiber signals to 1000BASE-T copper or vice versa. It complies with IEEE 802.3ab and IEEE 802.3z standards and uses an SC-type fiber connector. The converter supports multimode operation at 850 nm and single-mode at 1310 nm, providing full wire-speed forwarding for Gigabit Ethernet connections and offering extended fiber reach.

Advantages

The MC220L provides a compact solution for connecting fiber and copper Gigabit networks without requiring a chassis. It supports hot-swappable FX modules, Auto MDI/MDI-X on the TX port for easy connection to various devices, and front-panel LEDs for status monitoring. The device supports multimode fiber distances up to 0.55 km and single-mode fiber distances up to 10 km.

Key specifications

  • Standards: IEEE 802.3ab (1000Base-T), IEEE 802.3z (1000Base-SX/LX/LH)
  • Fiber connector: SC-Type
  • Fiber wavelengths: 850 nm (multimode), 1310 nm (single-mode)
  • Maximum multimode distance: 0.55 km
  • Maximum single-mode distance: 10 km
  • TX port: 1000Base-T copper with Auto MDI/MDI-X
  • Form factor: Standalone or compatible with TP-LINK 19" chassis
  • Front panel: Status LEDs

How to use

Install the MC220L as a standalone unit or slide it into a compatible TP-LINK 19" chassis. Connect the fiber cable to the SC fiber port and the copper Ethernet cable to the TX RJ45 port. Ensure the fiber type matches the module configuration (multimode for 850 nm or single-mode for 1310 nm). Power on the unit and verify link/activity via the front-panel LEDs. For hot-swappable FX modules, remove or insert modules only when recommended by the vendor and following proper grounding and ESD precautions.

Recommendations

Use appropriate fiber cable type and quality for the required distance (multimode up to 0.55 km, single-mode up to 10 km). Verify compatibility with connected network equipment and follow ESD and installation guidelines when handling hot-swappable modules.
