Black Box LBH120A-H-SC Fast Ethernet Hardened Media Converter
Overview
The Black Box LBH120A-H-SC is a hardened Fast Ethernet media converter designed to bridge the gap between standard Ethernet networks and fiber optic cabling in demanding environments. This unit specifically converts 100-Mbps Ethernet signals to fiber, extending network reach beyond the limitations of copper cabling. Its hardened design makes it suitable for deployment in industrial settings, outdoor enclosures, or any location where standard networking equipment would fail due to environmental factors. The LBH120A-H-SC enables you to connect IP cameras or other network devices to a central management system over longer distances using fiber infrastructure.
Compatibility
This media converter is designed for 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet connectivity. It is compatible with any network device that utilizes a standard RJ-45 Ethernet port and requires a 100-Mbps connection. This includes a wide range of industrial IP cameras, access control panels, and other network-attached devices that may not have native fiber connectivity. It functions as a transparent bridge, meaning it does not require specific VMS or device firmware to operate, only that the connected devices adhere to Fast Ethernet standards.
Installation Notes
The unit requires a power source (not included) and connects to your network via standard Ethernet and fiber optic cables. Ensure the fiber optic connector type (SC in this case) matches your existing fiber infrastructure. The hardened construction implies it can withstand temperature extremes and vibration typically found in industrial or outdoor installations, but specific environmental ratings beyond 'hardened' are not detailed. Ensure proper grounding if installed in an industrial control panel.
