Black Box LPS535A-SFP Gigabit PoE+ Media Converter
Overview
The Black Box LPS535A-SFP is a Gigabit Ethernet media converter designed to bridge the gap between copper Ethernet and single-mode fiber optic cabling. This device is critical for extending network reach beyond the standard 100-meter Ethernet limitation, making it suitable for industrial environments, large campus networks, or extending surveillance camera feeds over significant distances. Its ability to accept PoE+ power directly from the connected network switch simplifies installation by eliminating the need for a local power adapter.
Compatibility
This media converter is compatible with standard 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet networks. It requires a compatible SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) module for the fiber optic connection, which must be purchased separately. The unit supports IEEE 802.3at PoE+ input, meaning it can be powered by any network switch port that provides up to 30W of power, such as those found in managed industrial switch lines or enterprise-grade PoE+ switches. It functions as a transparent bridge, so it is compatible with any network device that adheres to Ethernet standards.
Installation Notes
Installation requires a compatible SFP module inserted into the designated slot and connection to a PoE+ enabled Ethernet port. Ensure the SFP module's fiber type (single-mode) and connector (e.g., LC) match your fiber optic infrastructure. The unit draws power directly from the Ethernet cable via PoE+ (802.3at), simplifying deployment in locations where power outlets are scarce. The operating temperature range is specified for industrial applications, but verify specific environmental limits if deploying in extreme conditions.
