I need to lay a fiber connection to a barn about 400 feet away. This distance is too far for standard Ethernet cables, so I should use fiber optics instead. The barn will be there for another year or so, and it will mainly house my gym where I stream Netflix or Hulu—so it doesn’t require maximum durability. I think I got the right equipment, but upon receiving it, I discovered the connectors on the cable don’t match those on the converter I purchased. I’m not sure if I have the wrong cable or the wrong converters. The converter link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003AV...le_o04_s00 The cable link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082P9...le_o05_s00

You have a fiber-to-terrain adapter and a cable with LC connectors. Such conversions typically function well and are the most convenient to exchange.

The cable may require SC connections OR you'll need an SC to LC OM3 cable on both ends plus two LC to LC couplers.

These items are designed to work together. The TP-Link converter supports the MC220L, and the 10Gtek GLC-SX transceiver is compatible with it.
