Black Box LMC1009A-R3 Gigabit Fiber Media Converter

The Black Box LMC1009A-R3 FlexPoint Modular Media Converter delivers reliable, plug-and-play conversion from 1000BASE-T copper Ethernet to 1000BASE-LX single-mode fiber. This standalone converter enables seamless extension of Gigabit Ethernet networks over fiber optic cabling, supporting transmission distances up to 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) at 1300 nm wavelength.

Key Features

• IEEE 802.3ab 1000BASE-T and 1000BASE-LX compliant for standards-based interoperability
• Single-mode fiber transmission up to 10 km using LC connector
• Full- and half-duplex operation on both UTP and fiber ports
• Manual switches for direct control of port operation modes
• Diagnostic LEDs for monitoring power status and connected device activity
• Transparent operation requiring no software configuration
• Flexible deployment: wall mount, DIN rail, or install in FlexPoint 14-slot chassis or 5-position rackmount kit

Typical Applications

Ideal for extending Gigabit Ethernet networks across campus environments, connecting buildings beyond copper distance limitations, integrating fiber backbone infrastructure with copper edge devices, and creating scalable network architectures that can grow from standalone deployments to centralized chassis-based systems.
