Overview
The N784 Series Media Converter is a standalone physical layer device that converts
between 10/100BaseT(X) and 100BaseFX segments of the same network. The converter
supports Link Fault Pass-through (LFP) for easy tracing of network link failures, and the
LFP function enhances the integrity and conformity of twisted pair (TP)-Fiber linking to
make the network easier to maintain. The converter is powered by an external power
adapter or USB port on the hosting device (e.g., PC).
