D-Link DMC-1580SC – 10/100BASE-TX to 100BASE-FX SC Single-Mode Smart Media Converter, 80km Fiber Distance, LLCF/LLR, Link Pass Through & Chassis Support
Overview:
• The D-Link DMC-1580SC is a Smart Media Converter designed to convert 10/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet twisted-pair signals into 100BASE-FX single-mode fiber signals.
• It supports single-mode fiber using an SC connector, with a maximum fiber cable distance up to 80km, making it suitable for long-distance network extension.
• The converter provides intelligent functions including LLCF, LLR, Link Pass Through, store-and-forward mechanism, back-pressure, and IEEE 802.3x Flow Control.
• It includes Auto-Negotiation of speed and duplex mode on the 100BASE-TX port, plus Auto MDI/MDIX for easier installation.
• The DMC-1580SC can be used as a standalone media converter or installed inside a compatible chassis, where it supports hot-swappable operation and management through the Intelligent Chassis System.
