Customizes Your Network Extension over Fiber Optic CableThis network mode converter works with a variety of SFP and SFP+ transceivers to convert a multimode fiber signal to a singlemode fiber optic signal and extend it to a second network device. The mode conversion allows your network connection to reach hubs, switches and other devices located up to 80 kilometers (50 miles) away. The N786-MDC-SFPSFP is ideal for network engineers migrating toward higher-density data centers. LEDs Indicate Installation Performance and Diagnostic FunctionsEasy-to-read LEDs on the side of the mode converter indicate essential status information, including network speed and connection, signal diagnostics and unit power.
LEDs indicate when a fiber cable has been severed or another cause of disruption in service has occurred. DIP switches on the unit allow changing from 1.25 - 8.5 Gbps speeds to 10.3 Gbps speeds based on your installation needs. Protective Metal Housing Built to W

The Tripp Lite N786-MDC-SFPSFP is a 10 Gb SFP+ fiber mode converter that converts multimode fiber to singlemode fiber for network engineers extending links between switches, hubs, or other network devices over distances of up to 80 km.
Recommended For
- Network engineers extending an existing 10GbE link from multimode fiber onto singlemode fiber between switches, server rooms, or network closets.
- IT teams connecting 10Gb network devices across longer fiber runs—up to 80 km when the selected transceivers and fiber link support that reach.
- Data-center teams migrating to higher-density fiber networking who need to bridge multimode and singlemode segments without replacing both connected network devices.
- Network technicians who want status LEDs for link and speed checks and the option to hot-swap supported transceivers or fiber cables during maintenance.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- A network team needs to connect existing 10Gb multimode equipment to a single-mode fiber backbone; the converter bridges the two fiber types so the link can reach a more distant switch or network device, provided the installed SFP+ optics match the fiber and link requirements.
- A data center or server-room team is extending a 10Gb connection between network areas over single-mode fiber while retaining a multimode segment at one end; the converter provides the mode change between the two fiber sections.
- During a network refresh, an engineer needs to connect equipment using different fiber modes without replacing every existing fiber segment; the converter can support a mixed multimode and single-mode path, subject to compatible transceivers and link design.
- A technician is maintaining a live fiber installation and needs to change a transceiver or cable; the product supports hot-swapping, allowing routine replacement without shutting down the converter itself.
- When troubleshooting a fiber link, a technician can use the unit’s status LEDs to check power, link activity, signal detection, and speed indications, helping identify whether the converter sees a connection or fiber signal.
