Product Features
Technical Overview
Built on Gigabit Ethernet technology, the N785-H01-SFP delivers data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbps over twisted pair cabling using 10/100/1000Base-T, while the fiber side supports 100/1000Base-X standards. The device maintains signal integrity across media conversions, ensuring reliable network performance without bottlenecks.
The converter's single RJ-45 port handles copper connections, while the SFP slot accommodates fiber optic transceivers. This dual-media approach allows the unit to extend network segments up to 0.10 km (approximately 328 feet) when using appropriate fiber, overcoming the distance limitations of standard copper cabling.
