- Wall-mountable for clean cable routing
- Compact dimensions: 1.75" W x 2.25" D x 0.84" H
Simplified Power
USB-powered via included AC adapter reduces power supply complexity and enhances deployment flexibility in varied environments.
Compliance Ready
TAA compliant and manufactured in the United States, meeting requirements for government and institutional procurement.
Deployment / Use Cases
This media converter is ideal for extending Gigabit Ethernet networks over fiber where copper distances are insufficient. Common applications include connecting buildings within a campus, linking floors in multi-story offices, or integrating fiber backbones into existing copper-based LANs.
In industrial settings, it can bridge equipment in harsh environments where fiber's immunity to EMI is critical. For small offices or retail spaces, the wall-mountable design allows discreet installation behind desks or in wiring closets, maintaining a professional appearance while expanding network reach.
Building-to-Building Links
Extend network segments between separate structures up to 0.5 km apart using cost-effective multi-mode fiber.
Data Center Edge Connectivity
Integrate fiber uplinks into server rooms or network cabinets where space is limited and organization is key.
Physical Profile
The converter features a durable, compact enclosure designed for wall mounting with included hardware. Its small size (1.75" x 2.25" x 0.84") and light weight make it easy to install in tight spaces without sacrificing performance. The finish is professional and suitable for both visible and hidden installations.

User Manual
FAQ
What types of connections does this media converter support?
The LMC4002A supports one RJ-45 port for standard twisted-pair Ethernet (copper) and one SC duplex port for multi-mode optical fiber. It converts between these media types, enabling seamless integration of fiber segments into copper networks.
What is the maximum distance supported over fiber?
This converter supports a maximum distance of 0.5 kilometers (0.31 miles) when using multi-mode fiber with an 850 nm wavelength. This extends network reach beyond typical copper limitations for applications like campus links or building interconnects.
How is the device powered?
The converter is powered via a USB-connected AC adapter included in the package. This USB-powered design simplifies installation by eliminating bulky external power supplies and offers flexibility in placement near standard outlets.
Can this converter be wall-mounted?
Yes, the LMC4002A features a wall-mountable form factor. Its compact dimensions (1.75" wide x 2.25" deep x 0.84" high) and light weight make it easy to mount in network closets, telecom rooms, or behind equipment for organized cable management.
What fiber mode and wavelength are compatible?
This converter is compatible with multi-mode fiber using an 850 nm wavelength. It does not support single-mode fiber. Ensure your fiber cabling matches these specifications for optimal performance over the supported 0.5 km distance.
Is this product compliant with government procurement standards?
Yes, the LMC4002A is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant and manufactured in the United States. This makes it suitable for government, educational, and institutional purchases where compliance with sourcing regulations is required.
