The Black Box LIC022A-R4 is a multimode fiber optic media converter designed to extend Ethernet network connectivity beyond the limitations of copper cabling. This unit converts 10/100BASE-T Ethernet signals to 1300nm multimode fiber optic signals, enabling data transmission up to 2 kilometers. It is essential for bridging network segments in industrial environments, large campuses, or connecting remote IP surveillance devices where standard Ethernet cable lengths are insufficient. The LIC022A-R4 uses ST connectors, a common choice for fiber optic installations.
This media converter is compatible with standard 10/100BASE-T Ethernet ports found on most network switches, routers, and IP cameras. It functions as a transparent bridge, meaning it does not require specific software or configuration beyond physical connection. It is designed to work with any network device featuring an RJ-45 Ethernet port and supports standard Ethernet protocols. The 1300nm wavelength is optimized for multimode fiber transmission over its specified distance.
Installation involves connecting an RJ-45 Ethernet cable from your network device to the converter's copper port and connecting a multimode fiber optic cable with ST connectors to the fiber port. Ensure the fiber cable is rated for 1300nm operation and the correct type of multimode fiber (e.g., OM1, OM2, OM3) is used for the 2km distance. The converter is typically powered by an external power adapter (sold separately) and should be installed in a temperature-controlled environment, as indicated by its black, non-ruggedized casing.
