The Black Box FlexPoint LMC1017A-SFP is a Gigabit Ethernet media converter that connects 10/100/1000Base-T copper Ethernet to 100/1000Base-X fiber through an SFP interface, making it suitable for network teams extending or integrating Ethernet links across copper and fiber.
Recommended For
- Network installers extending a 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet connection over fiber between rooms or buildings, using a compatible 100BASE-FX or 1000BASE-X SFP for the fiber type and distance required.
- IT teams connecting copper-only edge devices—such as a workstation, access point, or camera—to a fiber network link, when the endpoint uses standard Ethernet and does not need more than 1 Gbps.
- Technicians maintaining mixed-speed Ethernet links who need a standalone copper-to-fiber converter with selectable 100 Mbps or 1 Gbps fiber operation and link-fault troubleshooting modes.
- Organizations deploying several FlexPoint converters that want to use them individually or consolidate compatible units in a rack-mounted power chassis.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- When a copper-only router or switch needs to connect to a fiber network, use the converter to bridge its Ethernet port to a compatible SFP fiber link, avoiding replacement of the existing network equipment.
- To link network equipment in separate rooms or buildings beyond the usual 100-meter limit of copper Ethernet, convert the copper connection to fiber; the actual reach depends on the selected SFP, fiber, and link at the far end.
- When a site already has fiber cabling but an endpoint only has an Ethernet port, use the converter to connect the endpoint to that fiber path, provided the SFP type and configured link speed match the network.
- Where an Ethernet cable route passes through an area with electrical interference, use fiber for that segment to avoid copper-link susceptibility to electromagnetic interference, while retaining copper connections at the equipment.
- During installation or troubleshooting of a copper-to-fiber link, an administrator can enable the converter’s loopback feature to help test the connection and isolate link problems.
