The Black Box LMC100A-SMLC-R2 is a Fast Ethernet media converter designed to extend network distances by converting electrical signals from a copper Ethernet connection to optical signals for transmission over fiber optic cable. This unit is ideal for bridging the gap between existing copper infrastructure and fiber optic networks in environments where longer cable runs are required, such as industrial facilities, campus networks, or traffic control systems. The LMC100A-SMLC-R2 model specifically supports 100 Mbps connections, ensuring compatibility with legacy or specific speed-dependent network segments. Its compact form factor allows for easy integration into existing network closets or enclosures.
This media converter is designed to interface with standard 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet copper ports and single-mode fiber optic ports using an LC connector. It is compatible with any network device featuring a 100 Mbps Ethernet port, including switches, routers, and workstations. The single-mode fiber interface supports standard single-mode fiber optic cables, enabling network extension up to 20 kilometers (12.4 miles).
Installation involves connecting a standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the copper port and a compatible single-mode fiber optic patch cord to the LC fiber port. Ensure the fiber optic cable is rated for the correct wavelength and distance. The unit requires no software configuration and draws power from an external power adapter (sold separately).
