D-Link DMC-530SC – 10/100BASE-TX to 100BASE-FX SC Single-Mode Media Converter, 30km Fiber Distance, Metal Housing & DMC-1000 Chassis Support
Overview:
• The D-Link DMC-530SC is a 10/100 to 100BASE-FX SC Single-Mode Media Converter designed to convert 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet twisted-pair signals into 100BASE-FX single-mode fiber signals.
• It supports single-mode fiber transmission up to 30km, making it suitable for extending Ethernet networks beyond copper cable distance limitations.
• The converter provides 1 RJ45 twisted-pair port and 1 SC fiber port, allowing point-to-point fiber network extension.
• It comes with solid metal case housing, LED status indicators, and an external AC power adapter for standalone operation.
• The DMC-530SC can also be installed inside the DMC-1000 chassis, where it supports hot-swappable operation and uses the chassis power supply instead of the external adapter.

Connect Gates Recommendation:
• Connect Gates recommends the D-Link DMC-530SC for projects that need reliable Fast Ethernet to single-mode fiber conversion up to 30km.
• It is suitable for network links where copper cabling distance is not enough and a stable SC single-mode fiber connection is required.
• The metal housing, SC fiber interface, standalone operation, and DMC-1000 chassis support make it practical for professional network and CCTV fiber backbone installations.
• For proper installation, Connect Gates recommends checking the required fiber distance, fiber type, SC connector compatibility, chassis requirement, and power location before deployment.
