Network Media Converter TENDA TFC300A WDM Tx 1550nm / Rx 1310nm 3km

TENDA TFC300A WDM Tx 1550nm / Rx 1310nm 3km is a single-fiber network media converter engineered for fibre-to-fibre links that require different transmit and receive wavelengths. The device uses WDM technology with a 1550nm transmitter and a 1310nm receiver to enable bidirectional communication over a single optical fiber, supporting links up to 3 km. It is designed to integrate fiber segments or extend existing fiber runs where reducing cabling or using a single strand is advantageous.

Advantages

The converter reduces fiber cabling by enabling transmit and receive signals on one physical fiber, which simplifies installation in constrained pathways. It supports up to 3 km optical reach, allowing short-distances extensions between network equipment or camera systems. The unit offers compatibility with standard single-mode fiber links and typical networking equipment, facilitating integration into point-to-point links, ISP/customer premises, or CCTV backhaul without complex reconfiguration.

Suitable for

• Point-to-point single-fiber extensions between switches or media converters
• CCTV and video transmission links where minimizing fiber runs is required
• ISP to customer premises links or small aggregation segments with limited fiber availability
• Industrial or campus environments needing simple fiber uplinks over short distances

Key specifications

• WDM operation: Tx 1550 nm / Rx 1310 nm
• Supported maximum transmission distance: 3 km over single-mode fiber
• Port type: optical fiber (single-mode) with single-fiber bidirectional capability
• Application: fibre-to-fibre media conversion for point-to-point links
• Typical use: integration between fiber segments, CCTV links, and short ISP/customer fiber runs

How to use

Install the TENDA TFC300A at each end of the single-fiber link, ensuring one unit is oriented to transmit at 1550 nm while the opposite unit receives at 1550 nm (and transmits at 1310 nm back to the first unit). Connect the device’s fiber port to the single-mode fiber using the appropriate connector type and verify secure connections. Power the unit and check link status indicators on each device; typical deployment requires no additional configuration beyond physical connections. Confirm optical power budget and signal quality for reliable operation across the intended 3 km span.

Usage recommendations

Use single-mode fiber with appropriate connectors and verify connector cleanliness before installation. When planning links near the 3 km limit, measure optical loss and allow margin for connectors and splices. For CCTV or critical links, test end-to-end video/audio delivery after installation and consider surge protection or proper grounding where required.
