Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum transmission distance supported by the D-Link DFE-162SA? +

The DFE-162SA is designed for long-range connectivity, supporting a maximum transmission distance of up to 20km over single-mode fiber optic cabling. This makes it an ideal solution for extending network reach between buildings or across large campus environments where standard copper cabling limits are insufficient.

Does the DFE-162SA require a specific configuration when used with the D-Link DMC-1200 chassis? +

This media converter offers flexible deployment options. You can use the unit as a standalone device with its included power supply or integrate it directly into the DMC-1200 chassis for centralized management. When rack-mounted in the chassis, it integrates seamlessly into your high-density network infrastructure.

Why must the DFE-162SA units be deployed in pairs? +

Because this device utilizes single-fiber bi-directional communication, it requires a matching pair to function. The TX: 1310nm and RX: 1550nm wavelength pairing ensures that the transmit signal of one unit aligns perfectly with the receive signal of the other, maintaining link integrity over the single-mode fiber strand.

What type of optical connector does the D-Link DFE-162SA utilize? +

The DFE-162SA is equipped with a standard SC-type fiber interface. This ensures a secure, reliable physical connection that minimizes signal loss and is widely compatible with common single-mode fiber patch cables used in professional enterprise networking environments.

What are the primary power requirements for the DFE-162SA? +

The unit operates on a 5V DC power supply. When deployed as a standalone media converter, you must ensure you are using a compatible 5V power source. When installed within the DMC-1200 chassis, power is supplied through the backplane of the chassis, simplifying your wiring requirements.

Can the DFE-162SA support standard 10/100 Ethernet speeds? +

Yes, this photoelectric converter is specifically engineered to bridge the gap between 10/100Base-TX copper networks and 100Base-FX fiber networks. It provides transparent data conversion, ensuring your legacy or standard fast Ethernet devices can communicate effectively over a high-speed fiber backbone.

Is the DFE-162SA suitable for single-mode fiber infrastructure? +

Absolutely. The device is specifically optimized for single-mode fiber, utilizing a 1310/1550nm wavelength division scheme. This technology allows for efficient, high-bandwidth data transmission over greater distances compared to multi-mode alternatives, making it a robust choice for enterprise-grade fiber backhaul connections.

How does the DFE-162SA handle fiber link activity? +

The converter facilitates real-time signal conversion between the photoelectric TX port and the 100Base-FX optical port. By maintaining consistent signal conversion speeds, it ensures low-latency data transit across the fiber link, providing reliable connectivity for critical network segments that require consistent, uninterrupted performance.
