Description

Black Box LBH3080A Fast Ethernet Media Converter

Overview

The Black Box LBH3080A is a Fast Ethernet media converter designed to extend network distances beyond the standard 100-meter Ethernet cable limit. It converts 100-Mbps Ethernet signals to fiber optic signals, enabling reliable data transmission over significantly longer runs. This device is suitable for point-to-point connections in industrial environments or campus networks where standard copper cabling is insufficient. The LBH3080A model provides essential Ethernet connectivity in a compact, black form factor.

Compatibility

This media converter is designed to interface with standard 100-Mbps Ethernet devices and fiber optic transceivers. It supports typical Ethernet network infrastructure, allowing for seamless integration into existing surveillance or data networks that utilize copper Ethernet connections on one side and fiber optic connections on the other. It is compatible with any network device that provides a standard RJ-45 Ethernet port operating at 100 Mbps.

Installation Notes

Installation involves connecting a standard Ethernet cable (Cat5e or better) to the RJ-45 port and a compatible fiber optic cable to the appropriate fiber port (type and connector depend on the fiber transceiver used, which is not included). Ensure that the fiber optic cable is rated for the distance required and that the connectors are clean and properly seated. Power is supplied via an external adapter (sold separately).
