The Black Box Compact Media Converter links 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet with 850 nm multimode fiber over an SC connection for distances up to 550 m (1,804.46 ft), making it suitable for network teams extending Gigabit Ethernet between compatible copper and fiber equipment.

Recommended For

  • Network installers extending a 10/100/1000BASE-T connection across an existing multimode-fiber run of up to 550 m, with a compatible 850 nm SC fiber connection at the far end.
  • IT teams connecting copper-only routers, PCs, or switches to a building’s multimode-fiber infrastructure when a direct copper link is not suitable for the route.
  • Technicians setting up a small, fixed copper-to-fiber link who want an unmanaged converter that works without software configuration and provides link-status indicators.
  • Facilities or enterprise network teams adapting an established multimode-fiber connection to copper Ethernet equipment at an edge location, such as a remote room or workstation area.

Real-World Use Scenarios

  • To link a copper-only switch or router to an existing multimode-fiber run, place the converter at the equipment end and use a compatible fiber endpoint at the other end; the network can continue over fiber without replacing that Ethernet device.
  • For a home office or workshop in a separate building, use a compatible converter at each end of a multimode-fiber link to carry the LAN to the remote space; users can then connect local Ethernet equipment without extending copper Ethernet between buildings.
  • In an office or equipment room with fiber already terminating nearby, use the converter to give a copper-Ethernet device access to the fiber-backed LAN; this can avoid installing a fiber network card in that device.
  • When a network closet needs to connect copper Ethernet equipment to a multimode-fiber backbone, use the converter as the media handoff; the link can carry Gigabit Ethernet over compatible fiber for runs up to the product’s stated distance limit.
  • For a small deployment that needs only a few fiber-to-Ethernet links, use the converter as a standalone unit near the connected equipment; if several links are later needed, compatible FlexPoint units can also be installed in Black Box’s optional chassis.
