Black Box LMC1017A-SMSC Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter
Overview
The Black Box LMC1017A-SMSC is a compact Gigabit Ethernet media converter designed to extend network connectivity beyond the standard 100-meter copper Ethernet limitation. It facilitates the transmission of 1000-Mbps data over fiber optic cable, making it suitable for industrial environments, campus networks, or any scenario requiring reliable, long-distance network links. This device bridges the gap between copper Ethernet infrastructure and fiber optic cabling, ensuring data integrity and speed over extended distances.
Compatibility
This media converter is designed to interface with standard 1000Base-T Ethernet ports found on most network switches, routers, and end devices. It is compatible with any network equipment utilizing RJ45 connectors for Gigabit Ethernet connections. The fiber optic port requires a compatible SFP module (sold separately) for connection to fiber optic networks.
Installation Notes
Installation involves connecting a standard Ethernet cable from your network device to the RJ45 port on the converter and inserting a compatible SFP module into the fiber port for connection to the fiber optic network. Ensure the SFP module's wavelength and fiber type (multimode or single-mode) match the fiber optic infrastructure. The device operates within a standard temperature range suitable for most indoor or controlled outdoor environments.
