In the complex arena of data communication, the effectiveness of your network frequently relies on the nuanced yet essential role played by network accessories. At D-Link UKI, we take pride in providing a portfolio of networking accessories that not only fortify the backbone of your connectivity but also boost operational efficiency and adaptability. Our meticulously selected range, featuring transceivers & modules, media converters, stacking cables, and PoE injectors, ensures that every pulse and stream of data across your network is smooth and uninterrupted. Join us as we delve into how these vital components can transform your business network into a model of reliability and superior performance.

Transceivers & Modules:
Transceivers and modules are fundamental elements that form the backbone of network connectivity. Our transceivers are adaptable, supporting multiple data rates and protocols to fit various networking environments. For example, our Gigabit Ethernet SFP modules are ideal for extending your network to distances of up to 100 km, with options available for both single-mode and multi-mode fibre.

Single vs Multi Mode

Single-mode and multi-mode transceivers are both essential components in fibre-optic communication networks, but they cater to different types of fibre optics and have distinct applications and capabilities. Here’s a detailed comparison to explain their differences:

Single-Mode Transceivers: These transceivers use single-mode fibre (SMF), which has a very small core size, approximately 8 to 10 microns in diameter. The small core size allows the fibre to carry light without much reflection, enabling data to travel over long distances. They are designed for long-distance communication, capable of transmitting data over distances of up to 100 kilometres without significant loss of signal quality. This makes them ideal for telecommunications, long-distance networking, and high-speed broadband networks.

Multi-Mode Transceivers: Multi-mode transceivers use multi-mode fibre (MMF), which has a larger core size, typically either 50 or 62.5 microns. The larger core size allows multiple modes (or light beams) to travel through the core simultaneously, but over shorter distances. These are suitable for shorter distances, typically up to 500 meters for 10 Gigabit Ethernet. They are commonly used for data communications within the same building or on the same campus, such as in data centres or enterprise LANs.

Key Benefits:
Compatibility: Our modules are compatible with an extensive range of switches and networking apparatus.
Flexibility: With options for both fibre and copper connections, you can customise your network to meet specific distance and bandwidth requirements.

Media Converters:

D-Link’s media converters seamlessly bridge the divide between different types of media, such as converting fibre to copper or vice versa. This enables the extension of networks over greater distances and the integration of older cabling into more contemporary fibre-based systems.

Key Benefits:
Scalability: Easily integrate with existing networks without overhauling your current infrastructure.
Versatility: Our media converters support multiple protocols, ensuring they can cater to a wide range of networking environments.

Stacking Cables:
Stacking cables are crucial for businesses aiming to enhance the performance and scalability of their network switches. By linking multiple switches with stacking cables, you can manage them as a single entity, which simplifies network management and significantly increases overall network capacity.

Key Benefits:
Efficiency: Streamline network management and troubleshooting.
Expanded Bandwidth: Aggregate the bandwidth of several switches to enhance your network’s capacity.

PoE Injectors:
Power over Ethernet (PoE) injectors provide a convenient solution for powering devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones, all without the need for additional power supplies. Our PoE injectors ensure that power is safely transmitted alongside data over the network cable, simplifying device installation and minimising clutter.

Key Benefits:
Cost-Effective: Reduce installation costs by eliminating the need for additional electrical cabling.
Flexibility: Position network devices in locations without close proximity to power outlets.

D-Link UKI's range of accessories is expertly engineered to deliver reliability, scalability, and efficiency in your network infrastructure. Whether you are expanding an existing setup or constructing a new network, our accessories provide the solutions you need to sustain a robust and flexible network environment.
