Description

Black Box LMC4001A Gigabit Ethernet to MM Fiber Media Converter

Overview

The Black Box LMC4001A is a compact media converter designed to bridge 10/100/1000Mb copper Ethernet connections to 1000Mb Multimode Fiber. This unit is specifically suited for extending network connectivity over fiber optic cable, enabling fiber-to-the-desktop deployments or bridging network segments where copper reach is insufficient. Its small form factor and straightforward functionality make it ideal for environments requiring reliable, short-reach fiber extension without complex configuration.

Compatibility

This media converter is designed to interface with standard 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet ports on switches, routers, or end devices. On the fiber side, it connects to 1000Base-SX Multimode Fiber (MMF) infrastructure using an 850nm wavelength, supporting distances up to 0.5 kilometers (500 meters). It is compatible with standard MMF patch cables terminated with SC connectors.

Installation Notes

The LMC4001A operates by auto-negotiating speed and duplex on the copper Ethernet port. The fiber port operates at a fixed 1000Mbps. Ensure correct polarity and connector type (SC) when connecting the Multimode Fiber cable. Power is supplied via an external power adapter (sold separately), which is required for operation.
