Black Box FOCA20M3-1MP24-24LC Fiber Optic Adapter
Overview
The Black Box FOCA20M3-1MP24-24LC is a fiber optic adapter designed to facilitate secure, high-bandwidth data transmission over extended distances. This component is critical for extending network reach in surveillance deployments where standard copper cabling is insufficient or susceptible to electromagnetic interference. Its primary function is to enable the connection of fiber optic cables to network devices, ensuring signal integrity and data security for applications requiring robust connectivity, such as connecting remote camera sites to a central NVR or VMS. The FOCA20M3-1MP24-24LC model specifically addresses the need for reliable fiber optic integration within a surveillance infrastructure.
Compatibility
This adapter is engineered for use with standard LC fiber optic connectors, commonly found in single-mode and multi-mode fiber installations. It is intended for integration with network equipment that features corresponding LC fiber ports, including managed switches, media converters, and certain IP cameras or NVRs equipped with SFP modules or direct fiber interfaces. Its design supports interoperability within typical IP surveillance networks, allowing for the extension of Ethernet connectivity beyond the 100-meter limitation of copper cabling.
Installation Notes
Proper installation requires careful handling of fiber optic connectors to prevent contamination or damage. Ensure the fiber optic cable and the adapter's LC port are clean before mating. The adapter is designed for straightforward plug-and-play integration into existing LC-terminated fiber runs. It does not require external power and is passive in its operation, relying on the connected equipment for signal transmission. For optimal performance and signal integrity, maintain clean fiber end-faces and avoid sharp bends in the fiber optic cable exceeding its minimum bend radius.
