Description

The D-Link DMC-920R Media Converter (100BASE-TX to 100BASE-FX) is a versatile and cost-effective device designed to bridge the gap between copper and fiber optic networks. This media converter is a crucial component for extending the reach of your network beyond the 100-meter limitation of standard Ethernet cabling, making it an ideal solution for connecting buildings, floors, or remote network segments.

A key feature of the DMC-920R is its use of Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology. This allows it to transmit and receive data over a single strand of single-mode fiber optic cable, effectively doubling the capacity of your existing fiber infrastructure. This capability is a significant cost-saving advantage, as it eliminates the need for a second fiber optic cable. The DMC-920R is part of a paired solution, designed to work in conjunction with the D-Link DMC-920T media converter, which transmits and receives at the opposite wavelengths. Together, they create a full-duplex, 100 Mbps link over a single fiber strand over a distance of up to 20 kilometers (12.4 miles).

The DMC-920R is engineered for flexible deployment. It can be used as a standalone device with its own power adapter or can be installed in a DMC-1000 media converter chassis, which centralizes power and management for multiple converters. The converter is a plug-and-play device that requires no configuration, simplifying deployment. It supports a variety of management features, including Link Fault Pass-Through, which helps to diagnose a network failure. The D-Link DMC-920R is a durable, reliable, and highly functional device that provides a straightforward and powerful solution for modernizing your network
