Transceivers/Media Converters

Bring fiber to the desktop more conveniently and at a lower cost than installing fiber NICs. Black Box Multipower Miniature Media Converters make it easy to bring fiber to the desktop. Just connect a Miniature Media Converter to your PC's copper port with a CAT5 cable, then connect a fiber cable to the converter's other side. That's all there is to it! Best of all, you can tuck these tiny converters unobtrusively behind your PC. The converters not only link 10- and 100-Mbps segments to fiber cabling, they also work as data rate converters, performing 10/100 autonegotiation on the twisted-pair port. Choose from multimode duplex, single-mode duplex, and single-mode single-strand duplex fiber versions. For extra versatility, you can power the Multipower Miniature Media Converter one of three ways: through the external AC power supply included with each converter, through the optional USB Power Adapter Cable (LHC021A), which plugs into a PC's USB port and is sold separately, or through the optional rackmount PowerTray (LHC018A-AC-R2).

Extend copper via fiber
Get your copper-based network where it needs to go. This media converter lets you extend your copper-based network via fiber to a maximum distance of 60 km through the use of an SFP, providing your deployment with the connectivity it needs.

Support multiple standards
Meets whatever standard you need it to. It's fully compliant with IEEE802.3, IEEE802.3U, 10/100BASE-TX and 100BASE-FX.

Straightforward installation
The media converter can be installed into a standard converter chassis. The installation is quick and easy.

Status updates
Know how your media converter is performing. Operation status can be locally monitored through a set of diagnostic LEDs located on the front panel.

Know link media issues immediately
Features helpful Link Fault Pass-Through (LFP) functionality. LFP immediately alarms administrators to the problem with the link media and provides an efficient solution to monitor the net.

High-quality media conversion
Adapt your deployment. This media converter easily converts 10/100BASE-TX to 100BASE-FX-TP-to-ST/SC/VF-45/MT-RJ.

Smooth connection
This media converter is designed with a switch controller and buffer memory that ensures two segment types connect without issue.

Straightforward installation
Quick installation and setup. This converter can be used as a standalone unit or as a slide-on module to the 19" converter rack chassis for use in a central wiring closet.

Know link media issues immediately
Features helpful Link Fault Pass-Through (LFP) functionality. LFP immediately alarms administrators to the problem with the link media and provides an efficient solution to monitor the net.
