The Black Box LGC215A-R2 is a compact media converter designed to bridge the gap between copper Ethernet and fiber optic networks, specifically for extending the reach of 10/100/1000BASE-T connections. It supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) functionality, allowing it to both power a connected device and receive power itself, simplifying installation in environments where power outlets are scarce. This makes it ideal for extending network connections to IP cameras or access control panels in large facilities or outdoor deployments where running separate power cables is impractical.
This converter is designed to interface with standard 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet ports found on most network switches, routers, and IP-based security devices. It converts these signals to 1000BASE-X fiber optic standards, enabling longer transmission distances over fiber optic cabling. It is compatible with devices supporting 802.3af/at PoE standards, ensuring it can power and be powered by compatible network infrastructure.
The LGC215A-R2 supports 802.3af/at PoE standards, drawing power from the connected Ethernet cable or providing power to a compatible device. Ensure the connected network switch or injector provides sufficient PoE budget for the converter and any connected device. The unit requires a fiber optic transceiver module (sold separately) for the 1000BASE-X connection, which must be matched to the fiber type (e.g., SFP for multimode or single-mode) and desired distance.
