D-link DMC-540SSC- 100Base-TX to 100Base-FX Single-mode Fiber (SC) Media Converter

Product Overview

The D-Link DMC-540SSC (Model: DMC-540SSC / DMC-540SSC-1) is an enterprise-class Fast Ethernet long-haul media converter engineered to bridge copper-based Ethernet networks with extended optical fiber infrastructure. Designed to convert 10/100Base-TX twisted-pair copper signals to 100Base-FX Fast Ethernet single-mode optical fiber signals, it extends overall network reach up to 40 kilometers over $9/125\,\mu\text{m}$ single-mode fiber (SMF) cabling equipped with duplex SC connectors.

Operating at a 1310 nm center wavelength, the D-Link DMC-540SSC functions as a standalone unit powered via an external 5V DC supply or can be mounted in a high-density 14-slot DMC-1000 series media converter chassis. Equipped with Auto-MDI/MDIX, store-and-forward architecture, and intelligent link diagnostics (LLCF/LLR), it provides network administrators across Kenya with a dependable solution for long-range inter-building links and campus backbones.
