The Black Box LIC023A-R4 is a Fast Ethernet media converter designed to extend network distances by converting signals between fiber optic and copper Ethernet cabling. This unit is specifically built for deployments requiring 100Mbps connectivity over fiber, enabling network segments to span distances far beyond the limitations of standard copper Ethernet. Its compact, black enclosure allows for discreet installation in various network environments, from small wiring closets to industrial control panels where space is at a premium. The LIC023A-R4 is essential for bridging disparate network media types and extending reach in surveillance or industrial automation networks.
This media converter is designed for 100Mbps Fast Ethernet networks. It interfaces with standard 100BASE-FX fiber optic transceivers (SC connector type) and 100BASE-TX copper Ethernet ports. It is compatible with any network device featuring a 100Mbps Ethernet port, including switches, routers, and end devices. While it operates at 100Mbps, it is suitable for integration with Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure where the fiber link segment is intentionally limited to 100Mbps for specific connectivity requirements or device compatibility.
Requires standard SC-connectors for fiber optic cabling and an RJ-45 connector for copper Ethernet. Power adapter (sold separately) is required for operation. Ensure fiber optic connections are clean and properly terminated to maintain signal integrity and achieve maximum transmission distance. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F).
