Key Product Advantages
This media converter simplifies network upgrades by extending copper Ethernet over fiber without replacing entire infrastructure. Its compact design and plug-and-play operation reduce installation time and complexity, while the support for long-distance fiber runs enhances network reliability in noisy environments.
Distance Extension
Extends UTP Ethernet signals up to 2 km over multi-mode fiber, overcoming the 100-meter limitation of standard copper cabling.
- Eliminates EMI interference
- Reduces signal degradation over long runs
Compatibility
Works with standard 10/100 Mbps devices and supports common multi-mode fiber types, ensuring broad interoperability.
- Auto-senses speed and duplex
- Integrates with existing network gear
Deployment / Use Cases
The N784-001-SC is ideal for extending network segments between buildings, across campuses, or within large facilities where copper distance limits are a constraint. It enables fiber backbone connections for surveillance systems, access control, or industrial automation networks that require noise immunity.
Common applications include connecting remote switches in warehouses, linking floors in multi-story offices, or integrating fiber runs in manufacturing plants. Its small footprint allows for discreet placement in server racks, wall mounts, or desktop setups, supported by the included power adapter for flexible installation.
Building-to-Building Links
Connect network equipment across separate structures using fiber for reliable, high-bandwidth links unaffected by lightning or ground potential differences.
EMI-Prone Environments
Deploy in factories or data centers where electromagnetic interference can disrupt copper signals, leveraging fiber's immunity for stable connectivity.
Physical Profile
The converter measures 1" (25.40 mm) in height, 2.75" (69.85 mm) in width, and 3.75" (95.25 mm) in depth, making it a space-efficient addition to any network setup. Its compact form factor suits desktop, wall-mount, or rack-mounted installations, with a durable casing designed for continuous operation in commercial environments.
