Description

Black Box LGC5300A Gigabit Industrial PoE Media Converter

Overview

The Black Box LGC5300A is a hardened Gigabit Ethernet media converter designed to bridge the gap between copper Ethernet and fiber optic cabling in demanding industrial environments. It specifically supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) delivery, allowing you to power and connect IP cameras, wireless access points, or other network devices over extended distances where standard Ethernet cannot reach. This unit is ideal for extending network infrastructure in factory floors, outdoor surveillance deployments, or utility substations.

Compatibility

This media converter is designed to interface with standard 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet devices. It is compatible with any network switch or endpoint that adheres to IEEE 802.3ab (1000BASE-T) and IEEE 802.3af/at (PoE/PoE+) standards. The fiber optic port is SFP-based, making it compatible with a wide range of Black Box SFP transceivers (sold separately) for various fiber types (multimode, single-mode) and distances.

Installation Notes

The LGC5300A supports DIN rail mounting for straightforward integration into industrial control cabinets. It requires a power input of 48-56 VDC, which can be supplied via its terminal block or an external power adapter (sold separately). Ensure the power supply is rated to handle the combined load of the converter and the connected PoE device. Operating temperature range is -40°C to 75°C (-40°F to 167°F), suitable for harsh environments.
