Black Box LH1390C-SC-R2 Fast Ethernet Media Converter
Overview
The Black Box LH1390C-SC-R2 is a Fast Ethernet media converter designed to extend network connectivity beyond standard cable lengths. It converts electrical signals from a copper Ethernet cable to optical signals for transmission over fiber optic cable, enabling data transfer over longer distances or in environments where electrical interference is a concern. This unit is specifically suited for extending network runs in surveillance system deployments where cameras may be located far from the network switch or NVR.
Compatibility
This media converter is compatible with standard 100-Mbps Ethernet networks. It interfaces with any standard RJ-45 Ethernet port on network switches, cameras, or other network devices. The fiber optic side utilizes an SC connector, making it compatible with SC-terminated fiber optic patch cords. It is designed to work with both multi-mode and single-mode fiber, depending on the fiber type used in your installation. Ensure your fiber optic infrastructure uses SC connectors for a direct link.
Installation Notes
Installation involves connecting an Ethernet cable from your network device (e.g., camera, switch) to the RJ-45 port on the converter. A fiber optic patch cord with an SC connector is then used to link this converter to another media converter or a fiber-enabled network switch at the other end of the fiber run. The converter requires no configuration and is powered via an external power adapter (sold separately). Ensure the operating temperature range is suitable for your installation environment.
