Tripp Lite series Industrial N785-001-SPE Transceiver/Media Converter

SPE Media Converter Routes Critical Network Traffic up to 1000 Meters

The N785-001-SPE enables long-distance Ethernet communications in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) environments where traditional four-pair Ethernet is impractical or too costly. Fully compliant with IEEE 802.3cg 10BASE-T1L, this industrial media converter delivers reliable 10 Mbps Ethernet connectivity up to 1000 meters over a single pair of copper wires.

Ideal for Industrial Applications

The N785-001-SPE allows legacy sensors, actuators, PLCs and IIoT edge devices to connect seamlessly into modern IP-based infrastructures, which eliminates material and labor costs associated with pulling new Cat5e/6 or fiber cabling. The unmanaged media converter's rugged, compact form factor and wide temperature tolerance make it ideal for factories, warehouses, building automation systems, surveillance networks and other harsh industrial environments.

Seamless Bridging Between SPE and RJ45 Networks

This point-to-point converter is a bridge between field-level single-pair Ethernet (SPE) devices and standard RJ45 Ethernet networks. Using lightweight two-wire copper cabling, it supports 10BASE-T1L transmission up to 1000 meters, which is ten times farther than the maximum limits of standard four-pair cabling. It easily integrates with PLCs, industrial PCs, NVRs, switches and other Ethernet equipment.

Easy to Deploy and Inexpensive to Operate

This plug-and-play converter can be mounted on a DIN rail or a wall within a cabinet or rack enclosure. A robust 3-pin terminal block accommodates a wide range of wire gauges (24-12 AWG), which lets you easily terminate thicker 18 AWG and 16 AWG conductors. Low power consumption (3W) is ideal for energy-efficient edge deployments. Bypassing expensive fiber optic runs and minimizing complex, labor-intensive cable installations can drastically reduce your infrastructure costs.

Built to Withstand Harsh Environments

Designed for cabinet, control panel and field installations, the IP30-rated metal housing resists vibration, shock and electromagnetic interference (EMI). A wide range of operating temperatures from -40°F to 167°F (-40°C to 75°C) help make the N785-001-SPE a reliable operator in outdoor, surveillance, security, building maintenance and other extreme environments.

TAA-Compliant for GSA Schedule Purchases
