Black Box LGC5700A PoE++ Media Converter
Overview
The Black Box LGC5700A is a robust media converter designed to bridge 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet copper connections to 1000Base-X or 100Base fiber optic links. This unit is specifically engineered for deployments requiring extended reach or immunity to electromagnetic interference, commonly found in industrial settings or long-haul network extensions. Its ability to deliver PoE++ power directly over the copper Ethernet port simplifies installation by eliminating the need for local power supplies for connected devices, making it ideal for powering high-demand network cameras or access points.
Compatibility
This media converter is compatible with standard IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 (PoE++) compliant devices, providing up to 60W of power. It interfaces with any 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet network, connecting to standard RJ45 ports. On the fiber side, it supports 1000Base-X SFP modules (sold separately) for Gigabit fiber links or 100Base fiber connections, allowing integration into a wide range of existing fiber optic infrastructure. It functions as a transparent bridge, meaning it does not alter network traffic beyond the physical layer conversion.
Installation Notes
The LGC5700A supports power delivery via PoE++ (802.3bt Class 4) on its copper Ethernet port, drawing power from a compatible PoE++ switch or injector. It requires an SFP module (sold separately) for the fiber optic connection. Ensure the chosen SFP module matches the required fiber type (e.g., single-mode or multi-mode) and wavelength for the intended fiber run. Operating temperature range is -40°C to 70°C (-40°F to 158°F), suitable for demanding environments.
