D-link DMC-300MSC-2 Port 100Base-TX to 100Base-FX Multi-mode Fiber (SC) Media Converter

Product Overview

The D-Link DMC-300MSC (Model: DMC-300MSC / DMC-300MSC-2) is a Fast Ethernet media converter engineered to bridge copper-based Ethernet infrastructure with optical fiber networks. Designed to convert 10/100Base-TX twisted-pair copper signals to 100Base-FX Fast Ethernet multi-mode fiber signals, it extends overall network reach up to 2 kilometers over multi-mode optical fiber cabling equipped with duplex SC connectors. Operating in both standalone mode (via an included 5V DC external power adapter) or mounted into a high-density 14-slot DMC-1014 media converter chassis, the D-Link DMC-300MSC features hardware Auto-MDI/MDIX on copper ports, full wire-speed store-and-forward transmission, and front-panel diagnostic LEDs for real-time link tracking. It provides enterprise networks, security installations, and campus networks across Kenya with an efficient solution to bridge copper cabling distance constraints.

D-Link DMC-300MSC Product Features

• D-Link DMC-300MSC converts 10/100Base-TX twisted-pair copper Ethernet lines to 100Base-FX Fast Ethernet multi-mode optical fiber.

• D-Link DMC-300MSC supports extended optical transmission distances reaching up to 2 kilometers using $62.5/125\,\mu\text{m}$ or $50/125\,\mu\text{m}$ multi-mode optical fiber cabling with duplex SC connectors.
