Note: • You must set DIP Switch 1 to “FORCE” when DIP Switches 2 and 3 are set to “10” and “HDX”, respectively

For N784-001-SC, DIP Switch 5 must be set to “HDX”

After resetting the DIP Switches, you must reboot the Converter to activate the new settings.

Link Fault Pass-Through

Note: The Link Fault Pass-Through (LFP) function is enabled using the DIP switch. Disable the LFP function by setting the DIP switch to the LFP DIS position.

This media converter supports Link Fault Pass-Through (LFP) for TX/FX converter applications.

Link status on one port is propagated to the other port to notify remote nodes. If the TP port is unplugged, the converter stops transmitting over the fiber port, causing the remote fiber link node to fail. The LED will show link failure on both the TP and fiber ports. If the fiber link fails, the converter restarts auto-negotiation on the TP port, but stays in the link failure state. This causes the remote TP node link to fail. The LED also shows the link failure on both the TP and fiber ports. The figures below show normal status when the link succeeds, and the error status when TP Cable A, Fiber Cable B, or Fiber Cable C fails to connect.

• Normal status via a pair of LFPs

• Status if TP Cable A is broken

• Status if Fiber Cable B or C is broken

N784-001-ST, N784-001-SC specifications

Tripp Lite is a reputable name in the field of connectivity solutions, and its N784-001-SC and N784-001-ST models are standout items in their product line. These devices are essential for network applications that require reliable and efficient communication pathways.

The Tripp Lite N784-001-SC is a single-mode fiber patch cable, extending up to one meter in length. It features SC connectors, which are known for their push-pull design that facilitates easy installation and removal. Designed to meet the needs of high-speed data transfer in telecommunications, this cable is ideal for connecting devices to routers, switches, or network interface cards in data centers or enterprise environments. The single-mode fiber optics utilized in the N784-001-SC provide lower attenuation and increased performance over longer distances, making it perfect for applications requiring long-run connections while preserving signal integrity.

On the other hand, the Tripp Lite N784-001-ST is designed with similar principles in mind but comes equipped with ST connectors. The ST connector is renowned for its bayonet-style coupling mechanism which enhances its stability and strength. The ST version is particularly beneficial in environments where cables may be subjected to frequent disconnects and reconnects. Like its SC counterpart, the N784-001-ST patch cable is constructed using single-mode fiber, ensuring superior performance in high-throughput networking tasks.

Both models utilize advanced fiberglass for their fiber cores, reducing the likelihood of signal loss and ensuring optimal data transmission speeds. They are also designed to be resistant to common environmental factors, showcasing Tripp Lite's commitment to durability. The cables are also compliant with various industry standards, ensuring they meet or exceed the requirements for performance and reliability.

In addition to their robust performance, these cables are easy to manage and install, making them suitable for both professional IT setups as well as home networks looking to enhance their connectivity. Their lightweight and flexible design allows for effortless routing, minimizing clutter in any rack or enclosure.

In summary, Tripp Lite's N784-001-SC and N784-001-ST fiber patch cords exemplify durable construction, high performance, and ease of use. Whether you are operating in a large data center, managing a significant network infrastructure, or simply improving a home office setup, these options provide efficient solutions for all your fiber connectivity needs.
