User Manual
FAQ
What does this media converter actually do?
The Black Box LBH2001A-P-SC-12 converts network signals between copper Ethernet and fiber optic cabling. It takes Gigabit Ethernet from two standard RJ45 ports and converts it for transmission over a duplex SC multi-mode fiber port, allowing you to extend network segments beyond the 100-meter limit of copper cables while maintaining full Gigabit speeds.
What type of fiber optic cable does this converter support?
This converter supports multi-mode fiber optic cables with 50 µm or 62.5 µm core/cladding specifications. It operates at 850 nm wavelength and uses standard duplex SC connectors. The maximum supported distance is 0.55 kilometers (0.34 miles) when using appropriate multi-mode fiber cabling.
How is this converter powered?
The media converter requires DC power input. Its convection-cooled steel enclosure dissipates heat without internal fans, making it suitable for environments where dust or debris could clog ventilation systems.
