Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates with Gigabit Ethernet technology, supporting 10/100/1000Base-T on the RJ45 side and 100/1000Base-X on the SFP side. It accommodates one network port and one SFP expansion slot, allowing the use of industry-standard SFP transceivers for fiber connectivity. The maximum supported distance is 0.10 km, suitable for short to medium fiber runs within buildings or between nearby structures.
Power is supplied via an external AC adapter with terminal block connection, drawing only 6 watts under typical operation. The compact dimensions—1.97" height, 1.67" width, and 2.36" depth—make it space-efficient for dense installations. The unit is RoHS compliant and TAA compliant, meeting environmental and trade agreement standards for government and enterprise procurement.

Deployment / Use Cases
The N785-I01-SFP-DU is ideal for extending network segments beyond the 100-meter limitation of standard copper Ethernet. It enables fiber connectivity in environments where electrical interference, distance, or security requirements make copper impractical. Common applications include connecting network switches in separate buildings, linking industrial control systems across a factory floor, or integrating fiber backbone links into existing copper-based networks.
In commercial settings, this converter can bridge fiber runs between floors or across campuses while maintaining Gigabit speeds. For industrial automation, it provides reliable connectivity for PLCs, HMIs, and other devices in noisy electrical environments. The DIN rail mounting makes it particularly suitable for control panel installations where space is constrained and organization is critical.
Building-to-Building Links
Extend network connectivity between structures using fiber for electrical isolation and longer distance capability than copper alone.
Industrial Network Integration
Connect machinery and control systems across manufacturing floors with fiber to avoid EMI interference from motors and drives.
Physical Profile
