Description

Black Box LGC340A-R2 Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter

Overview

The Black Box LGC340A-R2 is a compact, industrial-grade media converter designed to extend Ethernet network connectivity beyond the standard 100-meter copper cable limit. It enables you to bridge copper Ethernet segments with fiber optic cabling, providing a robust solution for connecting devices in environments where longer distances or electromagnetic interference are concerns. This converter is suitable for extending network reach in industrial settings, large facilities, or campus environments where direct copper runs are impractical. The LGC340A-R2 model features a black finish, indicating its suitability for discreet installations.

Compatibility

This media converter is designed to interface with standard Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) network devices. It supports 1000BASE-T Ethernet over copper cabling and is intended to connect to a corresponding fiber optic transceiver (sold separately) for the fiber optic link. It is compatible with any network switch or device that provides a standard RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet port and adheres to IEEE 802.3ab (1000BASE-T) and IEEE 802.3z (1000BASE-SX/LX) standards for the fiber side.

Installation Notes

For optimal performance and reliability, ensure the fiber optic transceiver is correctly installed and aligned with the corresponding transceiver on the other end of the fiber link. Use appropriate fiber optic cleaning tools to maintain connector integrity. The device requires a power source (adapter not included) and should be installed in a location protected from direct environmental exposure unless specifically rated for such conditions. Ensure proper grounding to mitigate potential electrical surges.
