Detailed Specifications
Eaton N785-P01-SC-MM2 N785 Series Gigabit PoE+ Media Converter
Overview :
The Eaton N785-P01-SC-MM2 is a robust Gigabit Multimode Fiber to Ethernet Media Converter, designed to extend your network's reach by converting multimode fiber optic signals to copper Ethernet. This device is an essential component for integrating fiber optic backbones with traditional copper infrastructure, particularly in environments requiring extended network distances or optical isolation. It primarily solves the challenge of connecting Power over Ethernet (PoE+) devices beyond the standard 100-meter limitation of copper cabling. This media converter delivers both data and 48VDC power over a single Cat5e/6 cable, supporting a full Gigabit Ethernet connection up to 100 meters to compatible PoE+ devices. On the fiber side, it connects using multimode fiber optic cable with SC connectors, capable of extending the network segment up to 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) at 1310 nm wavelength. Advanced features like auto-MDI/MDIZ, full/half-duplex auto-detection, and Link Fault Pass Through (LFP) ensure seamless integration and simplified network troubleshooting. Ideal for deployment in campus networks, between buildings, or within large facilities, the N785-P01-SC-MM2 offers a compact, plug-and-play solution that requires no additional software or drivers for installation. Its durable metal housing and included external power supply facilitate flexible placement near edge PoE devices or in network closets, making it suitable for extending connectivity to security cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones where power and data are needed at a distance.
