Installation
1.
Optional:
Connect the included DIN Rail Kit to the unit
using the included mounting hardware.
2. Connect the RJ45 port of an unmanaged copper Ethernet
switch to the RJ45 port of the first N785-I01-SFP-DU
media converter with a user-supplied Cat5e/6 cable.
3. Connect a transceiver to the first media converter’s open
SFP port.
4. Connect fiber cabling matching the transceiver type between
the transceiver’s port and a matching transceiver connected
to a second N785-I01-SFP-DU media converter.
Copper to Copper Installation
Notes:
• The following installation instructions refer to an installation in which
two media converters are used to increase the maximum distance
between two copper switches.
• To effectively communicate between media converters, the speeds of
the copper and fiber ports of each media converter should be identical.
The diagram and table below show the speed you should use between
media converters and switches, as well as which LED will illuminate
with respect to that speed.
