Black Box LGC010A-R2 Miniature Media Converter
Overview
The Black Box LGC010A-R2 is a compact, unmanaged media converter designed to extend Ethernet network distances beyond the standard 100-meter copper cable limit. This unit converts signals between twisted-pair copper Ethernet and fiber optic cable, enabling reliable data transmission over longer runs. Its miniature form factor is ideal for deployments where space is constrained, such as within surveillance camera housings or network closets with limited rack space. The LGC010A-R2 facilitates integration into existing infrastructure by providing a simple, plug-and-play solution for bridging different network media types.
Compatibility
This media converter is designed to interface with standard 10/100Base-TX Ethernet copper ports found on most network switches, IP cameras, and other network devices. It supports fiber optic connections using SC connectors, making it compatible with a wide range of single-mode fiber optic transceivers and infrastructure. Specific compatibility extends to any device utilizing 10/100Base-TX Ethernet and requiring fiber extension via an SC connector.
Installation Notes
Installation involves connecting a standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable from the source device to the converter's copper port and a compatible SC fiber optic cable from the converter's fiber port to the network backbone or destination device. Ensure the fiber optic cable's specifications (wavelength, distance rating) match the connected fiber transceiver. The unit draws power from the connected PoE device, simplifying installation by eliminating the need for a separate power adapter.
