D-Link DMC-530SC Twisted-Pair to Single-Mode Fiber Smart Media Converter (30km)

The D-Link DMC-530SC is a high-performance smart media converter that bridges 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet twisted-pair (copper) networks to 100BASE-FX single-mode fiber networks, offering long-distance fiber connectivity up to 30 kilometers. Designed for expanding networks with fiber backbone infrastructure, it’s an ideal solution for businesses seeking reliable, scalable, and high-speed media conversion

Product Features

Long-Distance Media Conversion

Convert copper Ethernet signals to single-mode fiber using SC connectors. The DMC-530SC supports fiber cable lengths of up to 30 km, making it suitable for large-scale deployments and inter-building networking.

Standards-Compliant and Versatile

The device complies with IEEE 802.3 and 802.3u standards, supporting both 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX/FX. It offers full-duplex and half-duplex operation modes and supports auto MDI/MDIX, ensuring seamless integration with existing networks.

Intelligent Design for Scalable Deployment

Use as a standalone converter or install into the DMC-1000 chassis for centralized power and management. For advanced administration, the optional DMC-1002 Management Module provides remote monitoring and SNMP/Web-based management capabilities.

Plug-and-Play Simplicity

With store-and-forward transmission mode and full wire-speed forwarding, the DMC-530SC ensures reliable and efficient data transfer without the need for complex setup.

Diagnostic LEDs

Quickly view link activity, speed, duplex mode, and power status using onboard LED indicators for faster troubleshooting and network visibility.
