Description

Black Box LGC320A-R5 Mini Gigabit Media Converter

Overview

The Black Box LGC320A-R5 is a compact media converter designed to extend Ethernet network distances by converting electrical signals to optical signals. This unit is specifically built for deployment in environments where standard Ethernet cable runs are insufficient, such as connecting remote surveillance cameras or access points back to a central network switch. Its small form factor allows for discreet installation, often directly at the edge device or within a junction box.

Compatibility

This media converter is designed to interface with standard 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet ports on network switches, IP cameras, or other network-enabled devices. It utilizes SC connectors for its fiber optic interface, compatible with multi-mode fiber optic cable specified for 850nm wavelengths. It is intended for use with other Black Box media converters or network devices supporting these specifications to establish a point-to-point fiber link.

Installation Notes

The LGC320A-R5 requires a 5VDC power source, typically supplied by a compatible Black Box power adapter (sold separately). Ensure the fiber optic cable is clean and free of debris before connecting to the SC port to prevent signal degradation or damage. The operating temperature range is critical for reliable performance; consult the product datasheet for specific environmental limits. The unit's small size facilitates installation in tight spaces, but adequate ventilation must be maintained.
