Description

Black Box LMC1017A-SFP Gigabit Ethernet SFP Transceiver

Overview

The Black Box LMC1017A-SFP is a Gigabit Ethernet SFP transceiver designed to extend network connectivity over fiber optic cable. This module is critical for bridging distances beyond the limitations of standard copper Ethernet, enabling reliable data transmission in surveillance networks where cameras might be deployed far from the network switch or NVR. Its small form factor allows it to be installed directly into compatible SFP ports on switches, routers, or media converters, providing a plug-and-play solution for extending network reach by up to 10 kilometers.

Compatibility

This transceiver is designed for use in network devices featuring an SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) port. It is compatible with a wide range of network switches, media converters, and network interface cards that support the SFP standard for 1000BASE-LX Gigabit Ethernet fiber optic connections. Verify your network equipment has an available SFP slot and supports 1000BASE-LX fiber specifications for optimal performance. It is suitable for integration with various surveillance systems, including those utilizing IP cameras and NVRs that require extended network runs.

Installation Notes

Install the LMC1017A-SFP into an available SFP slot on your network equipment. Ensure the equipment is powered off before installation to prevent potential damage. Once seated, connect the appropriate single-mode fiber optic cable (LC connector) to the transceiver. The transceiver draws minimal power from the host device, typically under 1W, and operates within a standard commercial temperature range, making it suitable for most indoor network closet environments.
