Description

Black Box LGC122A-R4 SC SM Fiber Media Converter

Overview

The Black Box LGC122A-R4 is a single-mode SC fiber optic media converter designed to extend Ethernet network connections up to 10 kilometers. This device is crucial for bridging network segments where standard copper cabling is insufficient due to distance limitations. It converts 10/100/1000Base-T copper Ethernet signals to 1000Base-LX single-mode fiber, enabling reliable data transmission over longer distances in industrial, campus, or metropolitan area networks. Its black color allows for discreet installation in various environments.

Compatibility

This media converter is compatible with any standard network device featuring a 10/100/1000Base-T RJ45 Ethernet port and a single-mode SC fiber optic port. It adheres to IEEE 802.3u, 802.3ab, and 802.3z standards, ensuring interoperability with a wide range of network equipment from various manufacturers. It is suitable for integration into existing network infrastructure that utilizes single-mode fiber optic cabling with SC connectors.

Installation Notes

Installation requires connecting a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable to the copper port and a single-mode SC fiber optic cable to the fiber port. Ensure the fiber cable is rated for 10km transmission and uses SC connectors. The device operates as a plug-and-play unit, requiring no software configuration. Power is supplied via an external power adapter (sold separately), which is necessary for operation.
