D-Link DMC-700SC 1000BT to 1000Base-SX (SC) Multimode Media Converter

Product Description

The D-Link DMC-700SC is a versatile Gigabit Ethernet media converter designed to extend network reach by converting signals between copper twisted-pair and multimode fiber optic cabling. This device is crucial for network infrastructure that requires connecting devices over distances that exceed the limitations of standard Ethernet copper cables. It features a 1000Base-T port with an RJ45 connector for connecting to standard Ethernet devices or switches. On the fiber side, it offers a 1000Base-SX interface utilizing a duplex SC connector, which is commonly used for multimode fiber connections. This allows for network extension up to 550 meters (typical for 1000Base-SX) over multimode fiber, providing a cost-effective solution for campus backbones or inter-building connectivity. The DMC-700SC operates at Gigabit speeds, ensuring that network performance is not compromised during the conversion process. Its plug-and-play functionality and robust design make it an ideal choice for network administrators looking to integrate different network segments seamlessly. This media converter is essential for upgrading existing networks or building new infrastructure where fiber optic connectivity is required for extended reach and immunity to electromagnetic interference.
