D LINK 10/100 Base Fiber Ethernet Media Converter Full Circuit
The D-Link 10/100 Base Fiber Ethernet Media Converter (Full Circuit) is a robust network device designed to bridge copper-based Ethernet networks with fiber-optic infrastructure, delivering reliable performance and extended connectivity reach. This media converter seamlessly converts 10/100 Mbps twisted-pair Ethernet (RJ-45) signals into fiber-optic signals and back, making it ideal for businesses and industrial environments that require long-distance data transmission without compromising speed or integrity.
At its core lies a full-circuit design, meaning both transmit and receive paths are actively converted and optimized, which enhances signal quality and minimizes latency. The converter supports auto-negotiation on the copper port, recognizing 10 or 100 Mbps speeds automatically and adjusting to the connected device. On the fiber side, it supports a variety of fiber types (such as multi-mode or single-mode) and connector types (SC, ST, or others depending on the model), offering flexibility to match different network setups.
Built for durability, the media converter features surge protection and electromagnetic interference (EMI) resistance, preserving signal integrity even in electrically noisy environments. LED indicators provide real-time visual feedback for power, link status, and data activity on both Ethernet and fiber ports, making diagnostics and monitoring simple and straightforward. The device is typically powered by a standard external power adapter, and depending on the version, it may also support redundant power input to increase reliability in mission-critical deployments.
Installation is plug-and-play: no special software or configuration is needed—which means you can install it quickly into an existing network. The small footprint and rugged housing allow it to be mounted conveniently in a network closet, on a DIN rail, or inside a server rack, saving space while maintaining flexibility.
By converting electrically transmitted Ethernet signals into optical signals, the D-Link converter enables secure, long-range connectivity (often tens of kilometers over fiber), reduced electromagnetic interference, and future-proofing for network expansion. In summary, the D-Link 10/100 Base Fiber Ethernet Media Converter (Full Circuit) is a reliable, easy-to-use, high-performance solution for extending and bolstering network infrastructure across mixed media environments.
