DFE-861/A Use Case

Campus Network Expansion over 20 km Single-Mode Fiber

An educational institution extends its Ethernet backbone 15 km to a remote research facility using a pair of DFE-861/A D-Link 1 port 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX photoelectric converters (single-mode single-fiber SC interface, TX 1310nm/RX 1550nm). This setup delivers a reliable 100 Mbps link, immune to EMI and ground-loop issues, while reusing existing single-fiber infrastructure. Outcome: centralized network management, lower CAPEX, and uninterrupted connectivity between campus sites.

City-Wide CCTV Surveillance over Single-Fiber Link

A municipal security department deploys high-resolution IP cameras across a 12 km stretch of arterial roads using DFE-861/A converter pairs. The single-mode single-fiber SC interface (TX 1310nm/RX 1550nm) supports up to 100 Mbps for video streams, eliminating signal degradation over long distances. Benefit: real-time monitoring with minimal latency, simplified fiber cabling, and future-proof scalability for additional camera nodes.

Industrial Automation Connectivity in Hazardous Zones

A manufacturing plant links its central control room with a hazardous production area 8 km away via DFE-861/A D-Link photoelectric converters (1 port 10/100Base-TX to 100Base-FX, single-mode single-fiber SC, TX 1310nm/RX 1550nm). The fiber link safeguards against electrical surges and EMI, providing secure 100 Mbps data exchange for PLCs and safety sensors. Result: enhanced operational safety, deterministic performance, and cost-effective fiber extension without the need for repeaters.
