Description

Black Box LGC5600A Gigabit Ethernet PoE++ Media Converter

Overview

The Black Box LGC5600A is a Gigabit Ethernet media converter designed to extend network reach and provide power to compatible devices. It's engineered for environments where standard Ethernet cable runs are insufficient or where a single cable needs to deliver both data and power. This converter is particularly useful for deploying high-bandwidth surveillance cameras or other network-attached devices in locations without immediate access to power outlets or network switches, consolidating infrastructure requirements.

Compatibility

This converter is compatible with any Gigabit Ethernet device requiring up to 60W of power via PoE++ (802.3bt Type 4). It functions as a bridge between standard Ethernet networks and devices that can accept PoE++ power, enabling longer cable runs than typically supported by standard Ethernet alone. It is suitable for use with IP cameras, wireless access points, and other powered network equipment that supports the PoE++ standard.

Installation Notes

The LGC5600A requires a PoE++ (802.3bt) compliant power source, such as a PoE++ switch or injector, to operate and deliver power to connected devices. Ensure the power source can supply the required wattage for both the converter and the connected end device. The converter itself is designed for straightforward plug-and-play installation, bridging the gap between your network infrastructure and remote devices.
