D-Link DMC-300MSC 100Base-TX to 100Base-FX Multi-mode SC Media Converter

DMC-300MSC Fiber Converter

The D-Link DMC-300MSC Media Converter facilitates seamless integration between copper-based Ethernet networks and fiber optic infrastructure. This standalone unit converts 10/100Base-TX Fast Ethernet signals to 100Base-FX multi-mode fiber signals. Consequently, it extends network distances beyond the 100-meter limitation of standard twisted-pair cabling. The hardware utilizes a standard SC-type fiber connector to ensure compatibility with existing multi-mode fiber patches. It provides a reliable bridge for data transmission in enterprise environments.
