Black Box LPS500A-SM-10K-LC, 1000 Mbit/s, 1000Base-LX, Gigabit Ethernet, 10,100,1000 Mbit/s, LC, Kabelgebunden

Link 10/100/1000 UTP to Gigabit fiber and power 802.3af devices.

- Converts 10/100/1000Mbps copper to Gigabit Ethernet fiber .
- Supports links up to 10 kilometers on the fiber side.
- Maximum data transfer rate of 2000 Mbps (full-duplex).
- Works as 802.3af power sourcing equipment (PSE) for Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices on the copper side.
- Provides 48 VDC and 15.4 watts of power to powered 802.3af devices (PD).
- LEDs indication for feeding PoE power and power interrupted.

Connect Gigabit-speed fiber optic to a 10-/100-/1000-Mbps copper UTP segment while also powering 802.3af devices at the end of the CAT5 run.

These PoE PSE Gigabit Media Converters enable you to transparently connect copper cabling to multimode fiber as an economical way to extend Ethernet communications well beyond the 100 meter CATx limit.

Along with matching copper to interference-free fiber at Gigabit speeds, the converter doubles as power sourcing equipment (PSE) for Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices plugged in on the copper side.

Using existing UTP cabling for both data communications and 48-VDC power simplifies a network application in terms of provisioning power and maintaining equipment. It’s particularly ideal for locating equipment where electrical access is inconvenient or just too expensive to locate. Install PoE-compatible security cameras and wireless access points in areas without any nearby power outlets while reducing your overall power consumption, too.

Plus, the PoE PSE Gigabit Media Converters have extensive power management features, including over current protection, undercurrent detection, minimum load sensing, and PSE MDI power enable/disable.

For reliable data communications, the media converter boasts link fault pass-through (LFP) capabilities, monitoring receive ports on both the fiber and copper sides for loss of signal. If signalling is lost on one media port, it automatically disables the transmit (TX) signal to the other media port.

Additionally, a far-end fault (FEF) function enables the converter to cease sending link pulse to a link partner if signalling on the fiber receive (RX) port is lost. The link partner will also synchronously stop sending data. This way, you don’t lose valuable data transmitted over an invalid link.
