The main advantage that I see for the SFP is the flexibility it gives you for putting it in the network. SFPs are hot-swappable input/output devices that plug into a Gigabit Ethernet port or slot, linking the port with the network. SFPs can be used and interchanged on a wide variety of products and can be interchanged in combinations of 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX/LH, 1000BASE-ZX, or 1000BASE-BX10-D/U on a port-by-port basis. You can use them for gig or fiber channel applications. They provide a flexible and cost effective solution for enterprise networks, data centers, etc.
To connect to a D-link you need to buy appropriate SFP module for the same. It should have fiber connectivity from/to remote network. These ports are sold separately which you need to buy from your local vendor.
