The BLACK BOX CORPORATION Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter facilitates network connectivity by converting 10/100/1000-Mbps copper Ethernet signals to 1000-Mbps multimode fiber. This device is designed for IT professionals and network administrators who need to extend Gigabit Ethernet networks over longer distances than copper cabling allows, or to integrate fiber optic segments into existing copper infrastructures. It addresses challenges related to electromagnetic interference over long runs and the need for high-speed data transmission between different network media types. The converter supports multimode fiber with an 850nm wavelength, enabling reliable data transfer up to 550 meters. This solution is suitable for campus networks, data centers, or industrial environments where robust and extended network links are critical. The part number for this specific model is LMC1017A-MMSC.
This media converter supports 10/100/1000-Mbps copper Ethernet on one side and 1000-Mbps multimode fiber on the other. It facilitates conversion between these two media types.
The converter can transmit data over multimode fiber up to a maximum distance of 550 meters. This is achieved using an 850nm wavelength.
This media converter utilizes an SC connector for its multimode fiber connection. This is specified for the 850nm, 550m fiber type.
The primary use case is to extend Gigabit Ethernet networks beyond the limitations of copper cabling by converting signals to multimode fiber. It is suitable for connecting devices or network segments over distances up to 550 meters where fiber is required.
