Description

Black Box LGC126A-R4 Fiber Optic Media Converter

Overview

The Black Box LGC126A-R4 is a single-mode SC fiber optic media converter designed to extend Ethernet network distances beyond the limitations of copper cabling. It operates at 1550nm on one fiber strand and 1310nm on the other, enabling full-duplex 10/100/1000 Mbps communication over distances up to 10 kilometers. This converter is essential for bridging network segments in large facilities, connecting remote surveillance cameras, or extending backbone infrastructure where copper is impractical.

Compatibility

This media converter is compatible with any network device featuring a 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet port and an SC fiber optic connector. It is suitable for integration with various network switches, routers, and IP cameras that require a single-mode fiber uplink. The LGC126A-R4 is designed for interoperability within standard Ethernet networks and does not require specific software or drivers for operation.

Installation Notes

Ensure that the fiber optic patch cords used are single-mode (SM) and terminated with SC connectors. The transmit (TX) port on one unit must connect to the receive (RX) port on the other, and vice-versa, utilizing the different wavelengths (1550nm and 1310nm) for bidirectional communication on a single fiber strand. Verify that the operating temperature range of -40°C to 60°C (-40°F to 140°F) is suitable for your deployment environment.
