Black Box FlexPoint 1000BASE-T to 1000BASE-SX Media Converter

The Black Box FlexPoint LMC1012A is a standalone media converter that bridges copper Gigabit Ethernet networks to multimode fiber infrastructure. This IEEE 802.3ab compliant device converts 1000BASE-T signals to 1000BASE-SX fiber optic connectivity via LC connectors, operating at 850 nm wavelength.

Key Features

• Transparent operation with no software configuration required
• Supports data transmission up to 220 meters (721.7 ft.) on multimode fiber
• Single RJ-45 Ethernet port and one LC multimode fiber port
• Full- and half-duplex operation on both UTP and fiber interfaces
• Diagnostic LEDs for power and link status monitoring
• Modular design compatible with FlexPoint 14-slot chassis and 5-position rackmount kit
• Wall-mount and DIN rail mounting hardware available

Typical Applications

Ideal for extending Gigabit Ethernet networks beyond copper distance limitations, connecting buildings across campus networks, integrating legacy fiber infrastructure with modern copper equipment, and facilitating network upgrades in enterprise environments requiring electromagnetic interference immunity.
