D-Link DMC 515SC SM media converter The media converters convert signals capable of transmission on one type of cable to signals capable of transmission on another type of cable. This allows you to connect longer distance fiber cables between devices that are designed only for shorter distance cables, such as the Cat. 5 twisted-pair cable. All media converters in this system come with their own solid metal case housing, LED status indicators and AC to DC power adapters. They can be used as stand-alone converters, or installed in the chassis. In case you install them in the chassis, you will remove their metal cases and slide in their PC boards into the chassis slots. The chassis’ power supply will be used instead of the media converters’ own AC to DC power adapters. All media converters are hot-swappable when used with the chassis.
