Hi All

 

I recently purchased 2 x MC220L Media Converters and trying to figure out what SFP’s to purchase.

 

I am currently wanting to extend a CAT 6 Network.

 

I am running Single Mode fiber LC and would prefer to run just simplex and not Duplex.

 

Would I need to purchase 2 x TL-SM321A SFP’s or 1 x TL-SM321A and 1 x TL-SM321B ?

 

Apologies I am very new to this and still learning.

 

Regards 

 

Aidan

Hi @Aidan-W123 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

A and B should be purchased in pairs. Don't buy two module A which will definitely not work.

Nope. That does not matter. As long as you use them in pairs, they'll figure it out themselves. Basically, plug-and-play.
