Black Box LMC270A Fast Ethernet to Fiber Media Converter, SC/ST, Multi/Single Mode

Black Box LMC270A Fast Ethernet (10/100TX) to Fiber Optic Media Converter, SC or ST Connectors

Easily convert between copper and fiber segments in harsh environments with the Black Box LMC270A Hardened Mini Industrial Media Converter. Featuring an industrial-strength case, the rugged, 2-port (1-to-1) device is particularly ideal for any factory application where you need unmanaged conversion between a legacy 10- or 100-Mbps copper segment and a fiber backbone or other optical cable segment. Use it in power plants, mining and military sites, or anywhere temperature and contaminants would ordinarily wreak havoc on the conversion circuitry.

This Hardened Mini Industrial Media Converter functions at temperatures ranging from 14 to 140° F (-10 to +60° C). It's also compact. It gives you an affordable media-conversion solution for harsh environments where you have limited space for networking hardware, such as in transportation cabinets on roadsides, on shop floors, and in multi-tenant dwellings or fiber- to-the-home (FTTH) applications. Plug and play, the media converter doesn’t have any complicated software to set up and run. What‘s more, the LMC270A can be DIN-rail mounted (a mounting kit is included) and is equipped with terminal block power input for use in industrial applications that require Ethernet copper-to-fiber conversion.

Four versions are available: Choose from models with SC or ST fiber connectors for either multimode or single-mode connectivity. Using the LMC270A-SM-20K-SC or LMC270A-SM-20K-ST copper-to-single-mode fiber converter, you can extend your Ethernet data communications as far as 20 kilometers (12.43 miles). Because it performs standard autonegotiation and includes auto-MDI-X on the copper ports, the media converter is cost effective for integrating legacy 10-Mbps UTP networks with 100Mbps Fast Ethernet fiber networks. The copper ports autonegotiate for 10- or 100-Mbps speed and auto-detect full- or half-duplex mode.
