The Black Box LIC024A-R4 is a single-mode fiber optic converter designed to extend Ethernet network connectivity over significant distances, up to 40 kilometers. This device is critical for deployments where standard copper Ethernet cannot reach, such as connecting remote surveillance cameras, bridging campus buildings, or extending network infrastructure across industrial sites. It operates at a 1310nm wavelength and utilizes an ST connector, providing a reliable link for 10/100BASE-T/FX Ethernet traffic. The black, compact form factor allows for discreet installation in various environments.
This converter is designed to interface with standard 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports found on network switches, routers, and IP cameras. It is compatible with any network device featuring a 10/100BASE-TX copper Ethernet port and a 100BASE-FX single-mode fiber optic port with an ST connector operating at 1310nm. It functions as a media converter, translating electrical signals to optical signals and vice-versa, making it broadly compatible with network equipment from various manufacturers, including those used in surveillance systems requiring extended reach.
Ensure the fiber optic cable is rated for single-mode transmission and the correct wavelength (1310nm). Use an ST connector on the fiber cable. Verify the transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) ports are correctly paired between converters if using two devices to establish a link. The device requires an external power adapter (sold separately) to operate.
