Black Box LE2721C Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter
Overview
The Black Box LE2721C is a hardened Gigabit Ethernet media converter designed to extend network connectivity in demanding environments. It converts electrical signals from twisted-pair Ethernet cable to optical signals for fiber optic cable, enabling data transmission over longer distances than standard copper Ethernet. This is critical for extending network reach to remote surveillance cameras or sensors in industrial settings where standard network infrastructure cannot be deployed.
Compatibility
This media converter is designed for use with standard Gigabit Ethernet (1000-MBPS) network devices. It is compatible with any network switch, camera, or other IP-enabled device that utilizes an RJ45 Ethernet port for 10/100/1000-MBPS connectivity. The LE2721C functions as a transparent bridge, meaning it does not require specific software or firmware compatibility with the connected devices, only that they adhere to Ethernet standards.
Installation Notes
The LE2721C requires a separate power supply (not included) to operate. It features a ruggedized, hardened enclosure suitable for industrial deployment. Ensure the operating temperature range is respected for optimal performance and longevity. The unit requires one standard RJ45 Ethernet cable and one fiber optic cable (type dependent on the fiber port, typically SC or ST) for full functionality.
