Media converter for copper to fibre

The Tripp Lite N784-001-SC-15 converts 10/100Base-TX twisted-pair links to 1000Base-FX singlemode fibre. It suits installers extending LAN segments beyond copper distance limits in campus, campus or industrial settings. Auto-negotiation and MDI/MDI-X detection simplify deployment. The unit includes an external power supply and owner’s manual.

Practical limits of the 15 km singlemode link

Singlemode fibre at 1310 nm supports runs up to 15 km, far exceeding the 100 m ceiling of Cat5e UTP. The converter bridges 10/100 Ethernet only; it does not pass Gigabit traffic across the fibre port. Full-duplex and half-duplex modes are auto-detected, but the electrical interface remains capped at 100 Mbps. Six LEDs report link status, power and duplex state for rapid troubleshooting.

Capacity headroom for extended runs

At 15 km the link handles typical building-to-building or curb-to-core spans with margin for splice and connector loss. Beyond that distance the optical budget is exhausted and errors rise sharply. The 10/100 electrical port caps throughput at 100 Mbps, so bandwidth-heavy applications will saturate the converter before the fibre reaches its limit. Buyers needing Gigabit or multi-gigabit speeds across fibre should select a different model.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the SC singlemode version or a different connector type for my fiber run?

This unit uses an SC connector on singlemode fiber; choose it when your patch cables and panel ports are also SC singlemode.

What does the 15 km range mean once the converter is installed in a live network?

It supports links up to 15 km over 1310 nm singlemode fiber at 100 Mbps full duplex.

Which Ethernet standard does the RJ-45 port negotiate and what speed does it cap at?

The copper port auto-negotiates 10/100Base-TX and caps at 100 Mbps.
