Mediekonverter Digitus DN-82024

The Digitus DN-82024 Media Converter enables conversion between multimode and singlemode fiber optic links, allowing Fast Ethernet transmission up to 100 Mbit/s over distances reaching 20 km. Designed for network migration, this compact black converter uses SC fiber connectors and provides visual status via LEDs for activity, link, power and device status. It operates from a 5 V input and typically consumes 3.5 W.

Advantages

This media converter supports easy and fast migration from copper or multimode fiber to singlemode fiber without re-cabling the entire network. With SC connectors on both fiber ports and a maximum range of 20,000 m, it is suitable for extending Ethernet links over long distances. LED indicators simplify installation and troubleshooting while the low power consumption and compact design make it suitable for space-constrained installations.

Suitable for

• Extending Fast Ethernet links up to 20 km
• Converting between multimode and singlemode fiber
• Integrating fiber segments during network migration
• Point-to-point fiber connections in campus or building-to-building links

How to use

Connect the converter’s SC fiber ports to the multimode and singlemode fiber strands as required, and attach the Ethernet cable to the Fast Ethernet port. Apply a 5 V power supply to the device. Monitor the LED indicators to verify link and activity status; the LEDs indicate power, link integrity and traffic activity to confirm correct operation. Place the unit in a dry, ventilated location and ensure compatible fiber types and connectors are used to prevent signal loss.

Recommendations

Use high-quality SC patch cords and confirm fiber polarity before powering the device. For reliable long-distance links, verify fiber attenuation and, if necessary, use appropriate transceivers or amplifiers in accordance with network design guidelines.
