Black Box LMC211A-KIT Media Converter KIT - 10BASE2 Coax TO 10BASE-FL
Overview
The Black Box LMC211A-KIT provides a critical link for integrating legacy 10BASE2 coaxial networks with modern 10BASE-FL fiber optic segments. This kit allows you to extend network reach beyond the limitations of coax, enabling the connection of older surveillance cameras or industrial equipment to a central network point. It's designed for scenarios where existing coax cabling is in place but needs to interface with fiber infrastructure for increased distance or noise immunity. The LMC211A-KIT includes both the converter and necessary transceivers for a complete point-to-point solution.
Compatibility
This media converter kit is designed to interface with standard 10BASE2 (IEEE 802.3a) coaxial Ethernet segments and 10BASE-FL (IEEE 802.3a) fiber optic segments. It is compatible with any network device featuring a 10BASE2 BNC connector and any network switch or device equipped with a 10BASE-FL fiber port (SC connector). It functions at the physical layer, making it broadly compatible with various network protocols and operating systems running over these legacy Ethernet standards.
Installation Notes
Installation requires connecting the 10BASE2 coax cable to the BNC port on one converter unit and the 10BASE-FL fiber optic cable (SC connector) to the fiber port on the other converter unit. Ensure proper termination of the coax cable with a 50-ohm terminator at the end of the chain. The kit operates as a standalone device, requiring no software configuration. Power is supplied via the included external power adapters for each unit.
