Description

Black Box EFNT010-002M-STLC Fiber Optic Transceiver

Overview

The Black Box EFNT010-002M-STLC is a fiber optic transceiver designed to extend Ethernet network connectivity beyond the limitations of copper cabling. This device is critical for deployments requiring long-haul data transmission, such as connecting buildings across a campus, extending networks in industrial facilities, or bridging gaps in large surveillance systems where standard Ethernet runs are insufficient. Its purpose is to convert electrical signals to optical signals for transmission over fiber and then back again, ensuring signal integrity over distances up to 2 kilometers. The black color casing is standard for industrial and commercial environments.

Compatibility

This transceiver is designed for use with Black Box's own line of industrial Ethernet switches and media converters that support SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) modules. It is compatible with network equipment that adheres to the SFP Multi-Source Agreement (MSA), allowing for interoperability with devices from other manufacturers that support the same standard. Specifically, it is intended for use with either LED or Laser light sources, providing flexibility in deployment based on the existing fiber infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a compatible SFP slot on a network switch or media converter. The transceiver should be inserted firmly until it clicks into place. For optimal performance and to prevent signal degradation, ensure the fiber optic connectors (LC type, as implied by 'STLC' in the model number, though 'STLC' can be ambiguous and may refer to a specific Black Box product line) are clean before connecting. The operating temperature range for this device should be considered based on the environment where the host equipment is deployed; while the transceiver itself is built for robustness, the ambient temperature of the equipment rack or enclosure is a factor.
