Product Features
Technical Overview
This media converter operates at full Gigabit Ethernet speeds, supporting 10/100/1000Base-TX on the copper side and 1000Base-X on the fiber side. The SC duplex fiber port uses industry-standard multi-mode fiber with a maximum reach of 2 kilometers, extending network segments beyond typical copper limitations.
The converter requires external power via the included power supply and features auto-negotiation on copper ports for plug-and-play deployment. No management interface is included, keeping operation straightforward for basic media conversion tasks.
This section brings together practical product details such as Total Number of Ports, Network (RJ-45), DVI, Media Type Supported, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
The LBH2001A-P-SC simplifies network expansion by converting between copper and fiber media without compromising performance. Its dual RJ45 ports allow flexible copper-side connections, while the SC duplex fiber port ensures compatibility with standard multi-mode fiber infrastructure.
Versatile Mounting
Install the converter in multiple configurations including rail-mount, rack-mount, or panel-mount setups using the included mounting hardware.
- Rail-mountable
- Rack-mountable
- Panel-mountable
Reliable Signal Conversion
Maintains signal integrity when converting between twisted pair and fiber optic cables, supporting smooth data transfer across mixed network segments.
Deployment / Use Cases
Deploy this media converter wherever network segments need to transition between copper and fiber media. Common applications include extending network reach beyond copper distance limits, connecting fiber backbone networks to copper-based edge devices, and integrating fiber runs into existing copper infrastructure.
The converter is particularly useful in environments where electrical interference or distance requirements make pure copper connections impractical. Its compact size and multiple mounting options allow installation in network cabinets, control panels, or directly on equipment rails.
Network Extension
Extend Gigabit Ethernet networks up to 2 kilometers using multi-mode fiber, overcoming the 100-meter limitation of standard twisted pair cables.
Mixed Media Integration
Connect fiber optic backbone networks to copper-based switches, routers, or end devices without requiring fiber interfaces on every device.
Physical Profile
Measuring 3.50" (88.90 mm) in height, 3" (76.20 mm) in width, and 1" (25.40 mm) in depth, the converter has a compact footprint suitable for dense installations. The lightweight design at 4.80 ounces allows flexible placement without adding significant weight to mounting structures.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 3.50" (88.90 mm), 3" (76.20 mm), 1" (25.40 mm), 4.80 oz (136.08 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What media types does this converter support?
The LBH2001A-P-SC supports both optical fiber and twisted pair copper cables. On the fiber side, it uses multi-mode fiber with SC duplex connectors, while the copper side connects via standard RJ45 ports for twisted pair Ethernet cables.
What is the maximum distance supported over fiber?
This media converter supports fiber connections up to 2 kilometers (approximately 1.24 miles) when using multi-mode fiber. This extends network segments well beyond the 100-meter limitation of standard copper Ethernet cables.
How many network ports does this converter have?
The converter has three total ports: two RJ45 ports for twisted pair copper connections and one SC duplex port for fiber optic connections. This configuration allows flexible network integration between copper and fiber segments.
What mounting options are available for this converter?
The converter supports rail-mount, rack-mount, and panel-mount installations. The package includes metal mounting clips and screws for flexible deployment in various network environments, from equipment racks to control panels.
What power source does this converter require?
The converter requires external power via the included power supply. It does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE) or other alternative power methods, so the provided power supply must be used for operation.
What warranty coverage does this product include?
Black Box provides a 3-year limited warranty for the LBH2001A-P-SC media converter. The product is also TAA compliant and manufactured in the United States, meeting government procurement requirements where applicable.
