Black Box LHC036A-R4 MultiPower Miniature Fast Ethernet (100-Mbps) Media Converter - 10/100-Mbps Copper to 100-Mbps Singlemode Fiber, 1310nm, 40km, ST

Extend LAN reach with fiber 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.

Features:

• Compliant to EN62368
• Brings fiber to the desktop at a lower cost than installing fiber NICs
• Connects Ethernet or Fast Ethernet to fiber optic cable
• Measures just 08"H x 18"W x 34"D
• Autonegotiates for speed and duplex
• A DIP switch enables Link Fault Pass-Through to be turned on and off for better troubleshooting
• Powered by a universal AC power supply, a PC's USB port, or the optional rackmountable PowerTray
• Auto MDI/MDI-X means you never need to worry about what kind of cable to use

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).
