The Black Box LGC5212A is a high-performance media converter designed to bridge copper Ethernet networks with fiber optic infrastructure, specifically for extending network reach in demanding environments. This unit supports Gigabit speeds on both copper and fiber interfaces, ensuring no bandwidth bottleneck when integrating devices at a distance. Its PoE+ output capability allows it to power a connected network device, such as an IP camera or access point, directly over the Ethernet cable, simplifying installation and reducing the need for local power supplies. This makes it ideal for extending network connectivity to remote surveillance cameras or wireless access points where power outlets are unavailable.
This converter is compatible with any standard 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet devices and 1000Base-X SFP fiber modules. It functions as a transparent bridge, meaning it works with any network equipment that adheres to Ethernet standards, including IP cameras from manufacturers like Axis, Hanwha, Hikvision, and Dahua, as well as network switches and access points that support Gigabit Ethernet and require PoE+ power.
The LGC5212A requires a standard 1000Base-X SFP module (sold separately) to establish the fiber optic connection. It supports IEEE 802.3at PoE+ output, delivering up to 13W of power to the connected device. Power for the converter itself is supplied via an external power adapter (included) or through its own 10/100/1000Base-T copper port if it's receiving power from a PoE switch. Ensure the connected SFP module is rated for 1000 Mbps and the appropriate fiber type (e.g., multimode or single-mode) and connector (e.g., LC) for your cable run. Operating temperature range is -40°C to 75°C (-40°F to 167°F), suitable for most industrial and outdoor enclosures.
