Gigabit Singlemode Fiber to Ethernet Media Converter, 10/100/1000 SC, 1310 nm, 20 km (12.4 mi.)

Product Description

Extend Your Gigabit Ethernet Signal up to 12.4 Miles via SC Singlemode Fiber CableThis economical unit converts a copper Ethernet signal to singlemode fiber (and vice versa) to extend a 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet connection up to 12.4 miles (20 kilometers). Because Cat5e/6 cables are limited to only 100 meters, it is more effective to couple the N785-INT-SC-SM with singlemode fiber cable to reach greater distances. This could include providing network connectivity to employees in a secluded area of a facility, college or branch office or connecting multiple office workstations to a switch located in a separate building.Supports Auto-Sensing of Network Speed and Other Advanced FunctionsMonitoring and controlling your network nodes is easy with the N785-INT-SC-SMs advanced features, such as automatic network speed sensing, full/half-duplex auto-detection and automatic MDI/MDIZ configuration. Six LEDs indicate the converters Ethernet network and fiber link status at a glance.Supports Singlemode Fiber Cable with SC ConnectorsTwo N785-INT-SC-SM converters are needed to extend an Ethernet network connection. Singlemode fiber optic cabling with SC ends (such as Tripp Lites N356-Series, sold separately) connect the two converters. Copper Cat5e/6 cabling (see Tripp Lites N201-Series, sold separately) connects one converter to your network device, such as a server, and the other converter to a network switch.Completely Plug-and-Play with No Additional Software Required for ConnectionThe compact metal converter is easy to install and set up with no software or drivers required. The included power supply connects to a convenient AC outlet with no computer or other signal source needed. International plug adapters for North America (NEMA 5-15P), the United Kingdom (BS 1363), Europe (CEE 7/16 Schuko) and Australia (AS/NZS 3112) are included.
