Eaton Tripp Lite Series Gigabit Multimode Fiber to Ethernet Media Converter, 10/100/1000 LC, International Power Supply, 850 nm, 550M (1804.46 ft.)

The Eaton Tripp Lite N785-INT-LC-MM Gigabit Multimode Fiber to Ethernet Media Converter is a cost‑effective, plug‑and‑play solution that unlocks long‑haul Ethernet connectivity without re‑cabling with copper. By bridging copper Ethernet to multimode fiber, this converter lets you extend 10/100/1000 Mbps networks up to 550 meters (1,804 feet) over standard MMF links. Ideal for campuses, data centers, and edge networks, it helps you connect distant switches, servers, and network devices while preserving your existing copper investments. Designed for international deployments, it ships with a flexible power supply to support global sites without additional adapters.

• Extend distance securely: Up to 550 meters (1,804 feet) over multimode fiber using 850 nm wavelength, enabling cost‑effective fiber deployment between campus buildings, data centers, and remote access points. This eliminates the copper 100‑meter limit and reduces signal degradation and network bottlenecks on long runs.
• Future‑ready speed: Supports 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet with auto‑negotiation and auto MDI/MDIX, ensuring seamless compatibility with both legacy Fast Ethernet devices and modern Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure. Delivering reliable throughput for video, VoIP, and data traffic without manual reconfiguration.
• Reliable optical link: Multimode fiber interface with LC duplex connectors provides robust, interference‑free cross‑site connectivity. The 850 nm transceiver is well suited for short‑to‑mid‑range indoor deployments and budget‑friendly MMF networks, keeping your campus or data center running smoothly.
• Global deployment ready: The package includes an international power supply, enabling quick installation at corporate offices, remote sites, or branch locations worldwide without hunting for regional adapters or transformers.
• Simple, cost‑effective upgrade path: The plug‑and‑play design requires no software or complex configuration, reducing downtime and maintenance while letting you leverage your existing copper infrastructure alongside fiber for a scalable network extension.
