LIC025A-R4 - Black Box Corporation FST ETH IND MED CONV COP TO

The BLACK BOX CORPORATION LIC025A-R4 is an industrial media converter designed for extending 10/100BASE-T Ethernet over single-mode fiber optic cable. This device facilitates the conversion of copper Ethernet signals to fiber, enabling network connections over longer distances than standard copper cabling allows. It is suitable for IT infrastructure managers and network engineers deploying or upgrading networks in environments that require robust connectivity over extended ranges, such as industrial settings or campus networks. The converter supports a 1310nm wavelength and can transmit data up to 40km, addressing challenges related to distance limitations and electromagnetic interference often encountered with copper-based systems. Its hardened temperature design ensures reliable operation in demanding conditions, providing a practical solution for integrating disparate network segments.
