Description

Black Box LMC1017A-MMSC Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter

Overview

The Black Box LMC1017A-MMSC is a network transceiver designed to bridge the gap between copper Ethernet and fiber optic cabling. This device is critical for extending network distances beyond the typical 100-meter limit of twisted-pair copper Ethernet, enabling connectivity in larger facilities or across campus environments. It's particularly useful in surveillance deployments where cameras might be situated far from the network closet, requiring a reliable method to transmit data over longer fiber runs. The LMC1017A-MMSC converts 10/100/1000-Mbps copper signals to 1000-Mbps fiber signals, ensuring high-speed data transmission without performance degradation.

Compatibility

This media converter is designed to interface with standard 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet ports found on network switches, IP cameras, and other network-attached devices. It supports 1000-Mbps fiber optic connections, typically utilizing SFP modules (sold separately) for various fiber types and wavelengths. It is compatible with any network infrastructure that requires a copper-to-fiber conversion at Gigabit speeds, including enterprise networks, industrial automation systems, and video surveillance networks.

Installation Notes

Requires a separate SFP module (sold separately) to establish the fiber optic link. Ensure the chosen SFP module matches the fiber type (multimode or single-mode) and connector type (e.g., LC) required for your fiber optic infrastructure. Power is supplied via an external power adapter (included). Verify that the ambient operating temperature range is suitable for the installation environment.
