Product Features
Technical Overview
Engineered for reliable media conversion, the N785-P01-SFP operates with Gigabit Ethernet technology, ensuring full-duplex data transfer at up to 1000 Mbps. It supports both 10/100/1000Base-T over twisted pair and 1000Base-X over fiber, providing flexibility for mixed-network environments. The SFP slot accepts industry-standard small form-factor pluggable transceivers, allowing customization for specific fiber types and distances without replacing the entire unit.
Power is supplied via an included external adapter with a 3.6-foot cord and NEMA 5-15P plug, accepting 100-240V input and delivering 48V DC output. The converter's design emphasizes signal integrity, with support for twisted pair cables that enhance durability and reduce interference for smooth data transfer.
Key Product Advantages
This media converter stands out by combining fiber-to-copper conversion with PoE+ support in a single, compact unit, reducing the need for additional power injectors or separate devices. Its compatibility with standard SFP modules allows network administrators to tailor fiber connections for specific requirements, whether for campus backbones, industrial settings, or long-distance links.
PoE+ Integration
Delivers up to 30W of power over Ethernet alongside data, enabling direct support for IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones without local power outlets.
- Simplifies cabling
- Reduces installation costs
- Supports IEEE 802.3at
Single-Mode Fiber Support
Optimized for long-distance fiber runs, making it ideal for connecting buildings or extending network segments beyond the limits of copper cabling.
- Lower signal loss over distance
- Suitable for campus networks
- Compatible with SFP transceivers
Deployment / Use Cases
The N785-P01-SFP is particularly useful in scenarios where fiber optic infrastructure meets copper-based edge devices. Common applications include extending network reach from a fiber backbone to PoE-powered endpoints in remote locations, such as security cameras in parking lots or Wi-Fi access points in large warehouses.
In educational or corporate campuses, it can connect fiber between buildings to copper switches in individual offices, maintaining high-speed connectivity while leveraging existing twisted-pair cabling. Industrial environments benefit from its robust design and ability to handle longer distances with single-mode fiber, ensuring reliable data transfer in manufacturing plants or utility substations.
Physical Profile
With a compact footprint measuring 3.74" wide, 2.76" deep, and 0.98" high (95 x 70.10 x 24.89 mm), this media converter is designed for space-constrained installations such as network closets, wall mounts, or equipment racks. Its lightweight construction at approximately 7.04 oz (199.58 g) allows for flexible placement without requiring heavy-duty support. The small form factor makes it easy to deploy in bulk for large-scale network upgrades or as a standalone unit for point-to-point connections.

FAQ
What does this media converter do?
It converts network signals between fiber optic and copper Ethernet cabling. Specifically, it takes input from a single-mode fiber SFP module and outputs to a standard RJ-45 Ethernet port, or vice versa, allowing seamless integration of fiber backbones with copper-based devices like computers, switches, or PoE-powered equipment.
Does it support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, it supports PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at), which can deliver up to 30W of power over the Ethernet connection. This enables you to power compatible devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones directly through the converter, eliminating the need for separate power sources at remote locations.
What type of fiber does it work with?
It is designed for single-mode fiber, which is optimized for longer-distance transmissions with lower signal loss compared to multimode fiber. You'll need to install a compatible single-mode SFP transceiver in the slot to establish the fiber connection, allowing links over kilometers depending on the transceiver's specifications.
What speeds does it support on the Ethernet side?
It supports 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiation over twisted pair cabling (Cat5e or higher recommended). This means it can automatically adjust to the speed of the connected device, from 10 Mbps for older equipment up to full Gigabit Ethernet at 1000 Mbps for high-bandwidth applications.
Is an SFP module included?
No, the SFP transceiver module is not included in the package. You must purchase a compatible single-mode SFP module separately based on your required distance and connector type (e.g., LC or SC). This allows flexibility to choose a module that matches your existing fiber infrastructure.
What is the warranty period?
The Tripp Lite by Eaton N785-P01-SFP comes with a 2-year limited warranty. This covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use, providing assurance of reliability for network deployments. Always refer to the official warranty terms for detailed coverage information.
