The economical N785-INT-LC-MM Gigabit Multimode Fiber to Ethernet Media Converter allows you to extend your 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet connection up to 550 meters without the limitations of extra Cat5e/6 UTP cabling. Because Cat5e/6 cables are limited to only 100 meters, it is more effective to use LC multimode fiber optic cabling for greater distances. Use copper UTP cabling to connect one 850 nm N785-INT-LC-MM converter to your network device, such as a computer, and another converter to a network switch. The two converters are connected by a multimode fiber optic cable with LC connectors. The N785-INT-LC-MM supports 50/125 multimode cable up to 550 meters and 62.5/125 multimode cable up to 400 meters. Monitoring and controlling your network nodes is easy with the converter's advanced features, such as automatic network speed sensing, full/half-duplex auto-detection and automatic MDI/MDI-X configuration. Six LEDs indicate the converter's Ethernet network and fiber link status at a glance. The N785-INT-LC-MM includes an external power supply with international plug adaptors for North America (NEMA 5-15P), the United Kingdom (BS 1363), Europe (CEE 7/16 Schuko) and Australia (AS/NZS 3112). The plug-and-play fiber-to-copper media converter requires no software or drivers and is easy to set up.
