The Black Box LMC100AE-SC-R3 is a Fast Ethernet media converter designed to bridge the gap between copper twisted-pair cabling and multimode fiber optic cable. This unit is essential for extending network reach beyond the standard 100-meter limit of copper Ethernet, enabling connections in larger facilities or across campus environments. It specifically supports 10/100-Mbps copper connections and converts them to 100-Mbps multimode fiber using an SC connector, making it suitable for integrating legacy copper infrastructure with fiber backbone networks in surveillance or general IT deployments.
This media converter is compatible with any standard 10/100-Mbps Ethernet switch or device that utilizes RJ-45 connectors. On the fiber side, it requires a 100-Mbps multimode fiber optic network with an SC connector. It functions as a transparent bridge, meaning it does not require specific software or drivers and will work with any network equipment adhering to Fast Ethernet standards. It is particularly useful for connecting remote IP cameras or sensors that are too far for direct copper runs to the main network switch.
The LMC100AE-SC-R3 requires a 5VDC power supply (sold separately). Ensure the power supply is rated appropriately to avoid damage. For fiber connections, verify that the multimode fiber optic cable is clean and properly terminated with SC connectors. The maximum distance for multimode fiber at 100 Mbps is typically 2 kilometers (1.2 miles). Ensure the fiber port on the connected device also supports 100 Mbps multimode fiber with an SC connector.
