Product Features
Technical Overview
The LBH2001A-P-SC-24 supports multi-mode fiber with a 50 µm core/cladding specification and 850 nm wavelength, achieving a maximum distance of 0.55 km (0.34 miles). This allows network administrators to bridge longer distances than typical copper cabling while maintaining Gigabit Ethernet performance.
Its compact design measures 3.50" (88.90 mm) in height, 3" (76.20 mm) in width, and 1" (25.40 mm) in depth, with a lightweight build of approximately 4.80 oz (136.08 g). The converter is environmentally compliant with RoHS and WEEE directives, ensuring responsible manufacturing and disposal practices.
This section brings together practical product details such as Total Number of Ports, Network (RJ-45), Number of Network (RJ-45) Ports, Media Type Supported, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
This media converter excels in environments where durability and extended reach are critical. Its harsh-environment rating and versatile mounting options provide deployment flexibility for network infrastructure in challenging settings.
Harsh Environment Durability
Operates in extreme temperatures from -40°F to +167°F, ensuring reliability in outdoor, industrial, or uncontrolled climate areas where standard converters may degrade or fail.
- Withstands very low and high temperatures
- Designed for outdoor and industrial use
- Maintains performance in demanding conditions
Flexible Mounting Options
Supports DIN rail, rack, and panel mounting, allowing integration into various enclosures and network cabinets without requiring additional adapters or custom brackets.
- DIN rail mountable for industrial control panels
- Rack-mountable for standard network racks
- Panel-mountable for custom installations
Deployment / Use Cases
The LBH2001A-P-SC-24 is ideal for extending network segments beyond the limitations of copper cabling while maintaining signal quality. It converts 1000BASE-T copper connections to 1000BASE-SX fiber, enabling longer runs and reducing electromagnetic interference.
Common applications include connecting buildings across a campus, linking equipment in industrial plants, or integrating fiber backbones into existing copper networks. Its harsh-environment design makes it suitable for outdoor telecom cabinets, factory floors, or transportation infrastructure where temperature fluctuations are common.
Building-to-Building Connectivity
Extend network links between separate structures using fiber for distances up to 0.55 km, avoiding signal loss and interference typical in long copper runs.
Industrial Network Integration
Deploy in manufacturing or utility environments to connect machinery and control systems over fiber, benefiting from the converter's rugged construction and wide temperature tolerance.
Physical Profile
The converter has a compact, low-profile design that fits easily into tight spaces within racks, panels, or enclosures. Its small footprint and multiple mounting options facilitate installation in diverse network environments without consuming excessive real estate.
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.

User Manual
FAQ
What does this media converter do?
The Black Box LBH2001A-P-SC-24 converts Gigabit Ethernet signals between copper (1000BASE-T) and multi-mode fiber (1000BASE-SX). It takes input from two RJ45 copper ports and outputs to one SC fiber port, extending network reach up to 0.55 km while maintaining signal integrity in harsh environments.
What types of fiber does it support?
This converter supports multi-mode fiber with a 50 µm core/cladding specification and 850 nm wavelength. It is compatible with standard 1000BASE-SX multi-mode fiber optic cables, enabling connections for distances up to 0.55 km without signal degradation.
How many ports does it have and what are they?
It has three ports total: two 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 copper ports for connecting to switches, routers, or end devices, and one 1000 Mbps SC multi-mode fiber port for linking to fiber optic network segments. This configuration allows both conversion and basic switching functions.
What mounting options are available?
The converter supports DIN rail mounting for industrial control panels, rack mounting for standard network cabinets, and panel mounting for custom enclosures. Its compact size and included metal mounting clips facilitate easy installation in various environments without additional hardware.
What is the operating temperature range?
