Overview

The TP-Link TL-SM311LS is a Gigabit SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceiver module designed to provide long-distance network connectivity over single-mode fiber optic cable. Operating at a 1310nm wavelength with a data rate of 1.25Gbps in full-duplex mode, it bridges network segments separated by up to 20 kilometers using standard 9/125μm single-mode fiber with LC/UPC connectors. This makes it a practical solution for connecting buildings across a campus, linking remote offices, or extending a network backbone where copper cabling cannot reach.

The module is built for plug-and-play operation — simply insert it into a compatible SFP slot on a TP-Link JetStream switch or MC220L media converter and connect your fiber patch cable. There are no drivers to install or software to configure. TP-Link recommends pairing the TL-SM311LS with the MC210CS media converter for single-mode fiber connections. A protective dust plug is included to keep the optical bores clean when the module is not connected, and TP-Link advises keeping the plug in place until you are ready to make a connection to prevent contamination that could degrade signal quality.
