Installation

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.

  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.
  5. Connect the RJ45 port of a second unmanaged copper Ethernet switch to the RJ45 port of the second N785-I01-SFP-DU media converter with a user-supplied Cat5e/6 cable.
  6. Connect the 12~57VDC terminal block or optional 12V DC power supply to the media converters, and plug them into an available wall outlet, Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) or Power Distribution Unit (PDU).
  7. When all connections have been made, check the “L/A (Link/Activity)” LED to confirm the connection has been established.
