The Black Box LPS500A-MM-LC-R3 is a multi-mode fiber optic media converter designed to extend Ethernet connectivity over fiber optic cable. This unit allows you to bridge the gap between copper Ethernet devices and fiber optic networks, enabling data transmission over longer distances than standard copper cabling allows. It is particularly useful in industrial settings or large campus environments where signal degradation over copper would be a concern. The LPS500A-MM-LC-R3 provides a cost-effective method for extending network reach without requiring a full network infrastructure overhaul.
This media converter is designed to interface with standard 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet copper ports and 1000Base-SX multi-mode fiber optic ports. It is compatible with any network device featuring an RJ-45 Ethernet port and an LC duplex fiber optic port, including network switches, routers, servers, and IP cameras that utilize multi-mode fiber for uplinks or extended runs. It functions as a transparent bridge, meaning it does not require specific software or driver installations on connected devices.
Installation involves connecting a standard Ethernet cable (Cat5e or higher) to the RJ-45 port and a compatible LC duplex multi-mode fiber optic cable to the fiber port. Ensure the fiber optic cable is rated for the appropriate wavelength and distance (up to 550 meters for multi-mode). The unit requires a power source, typically a 5VDC adapter (sold separately), and should be installed in an environment within its operating temperature range of 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F).
