Overview The Black Box LPS500A-SM-10K-LC-R3 is a gigabit media converter designed to extend Ethernet networks over long distances using single mode fiber. It converts standard copper Ethernet connections into fiber links that reach up to 10 kilometers, while simultaneously delivering up to 30 watts of Power over Ethernet (PoE) to power devices remotely. This makes it an excellent solution for connecting and powering devices like security cameras or wireless access points that are located far from power sources. Supporting 10, 100, and 1000 megabit speeds, the converter integrates smoothly with both modern and legacy network equipment. Its compact and durable enclosure fits easily into tight spaces such as racks or wall boxes, making installation straightforward in various environments. Key features Delivers up to 30 watts of 802.3af PoE, allowing a single cable to carry both data and power to remote devices Supports multiple Ethernet speeds (10/100/1000 Mbps) for compatibility with a wide range of network devices Link fault pass through feature instantly notifies connected switches of fiber or copper link interruptions, improving network reliability Built-in overcurrent and undercurrent protection safeguards connected equipment from power irregularities Compact and rugged enclosure designed for easy installation in crowded racks or wall-mounted enclosures Compliance with IEEE 802.3af, 802.3u, and 802.3x standards ensures seamless interoperability with existing Ethernet infrastructure Key specs Fiber type: single mode Maximum fiber distance: 10 kilometers PoE power output: up to 30 watts (802.3af) Ethernet speeds supported: 10, 100, and 1000 Mbps Standards compliance: IEEE 802.3af, 802.3u, 802.3x Enclosure: compact and durable design suitable for rack or wall mounting Connectivity and compatibility This media converter bridges copper Ethernet and single mode fiber networks, making it ideal for extending network reach without sacrificing speed or power delivery. It works well with a variety of PoE devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones, especially in installations where power outlets are not readily available. RJ-45 port for copper Ethernet connection with PoE output LC connector for single mode fiber input/output Compatible with standard Ethernet switches and PoE devices supporting IEEE 802.3af Ideal uses and environments This converter is well suited for outdoor or large indoor spaces where network devices need to be placed far from power sources. Examples include security cameras mounted on light poles, wireless access points in auditoriums or stadiums, and remote network nodes in industrial or campus settings. Its durable design and long fiber reach make it a practical choice for extending network infrastructure while maintaining reliable data and power delivery.
