Description

Black Box LGC220A 10-Gigabit Media Converter

Overview

The Black Box LGC220A is a 10-Gigabit media converter designed to bridge the gap between copper Ethernet and fiber optic cabling. This device is critical for extending network distances beyond the limitations of standard twisted-pair Ethernet, enabling high-bandwidth connections over longer runs in environments like industrial facilities, campus networks, or data center interconnects. Its black color and compact form factor allow for discreet integration into existing infrastructure.

Compatibility

This media converter is designed to interface with standard 10-Gigabit Ethernet copper ports (RJ45) and compatible 10-Gigabit SFP+ transceivers (sold separately) for fiber optic connections. It is suitable for use with any network equipment featuring 10Gbps Ethernet ports, including managed switches, servers, and high-performance workstations. Ensure your SFP+ module matches the fiber type and wavelength required for your specific link distance.

Installation Notes

Installation requires connecting a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable to the copper port and inserting a compatible 10Gbps SFP+ transceiver into the SFP+ slot. Power is supplied via an external power adapter (sold separately). Ensure the operating environment is within the manufacturer's specified temperature and humidity ranges for reliable performance.
