CUSTOMIZE A NETWORK EXTENSION OVER FIBER OPTIC CABLE: This network media converter works with a variety of SFP transceivers to convert a copper Gigabit Ethernet signal to fiber optic and extend it to a second network device. The customizable SFP port supports both singlemode and multimode transceivers, allowing your network connection to reach hubs, switches and other devices located farther away than copper cabling's 100-meter limit. Auto-negotiation and automatic MDI/MDI-X configuration seamlessly connect devices without crossover cabling. MONITOR YOUR INSTALLATION WITH LINK FAULT SIGNALING AND LOOP BACK FUNCTIONS: Determine the health of your network connection via the Link Fault Signaling (LFS) and Loop Back functions. The LFS LED indicates when a copper or fiber cable has been severed or another cause of disruption in service has occurred. The Local Loop Back (LLB) and Remote Loop Back (RLB) functions ensure copper and fiber cables have been correctly installed. Use the DIP switches to control each function or turn them on or off. LEDS INDICATE INSTALLATION PERFORMANCE AND DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTIONS: Easy-to-read LEDs on the side of the unit indicate essential status information, including network speed and connection, LFS diagnostics and unit power. PROTECTIVE METAL HOUSING BUILT TO WITHSTAND A VARIETY OF HAZARDS: The hardened aluminum case is designed to operate in extreme temperatures ranging from -10 to 60 degrees Celsius (14 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit). It is protected from electrostatic discharge (ESD), radio frequency interference (RFI) and power surges. Hardware is included for wall or DIN mounting. WORKS IN TANDEM WITH TRIPP LITE'S N785-CH12 CHASSIS: House and power up to 12 Tripp Lite media converters, including the N785-H01-SCMM, using the N785-CH12 12-port chassis (sold separately) to create an organized installation. TAA-COMPLIANT FOR GSA SCHEDULE PURCHASES: The N785-H01-SFP is compliant with the Federal Trade Agreements Act (TAA), which makes it eligible for GSA (General Services Administration) Schedule and other federal procurement contracts.
