Black Box FlexPoint LMC1017A-MMSC Gigabit Ethernet Media Converter - Multimode Fiber to Copper

Black Box FlexPoint LMC1017A-MMSC Transceiver/Media Converter

The Black Box FlexPoint LMC1017A-MMSC is a versatile and reliable media converter designed to seamlessly connect Gigabit Ethernet networks over multimode fiber and copper cabling. Ideal for enterprise LAN extensions, fiber mode conversion, or Ethernet speed upgrades, this device supports data transmission at speeds up to 1000 Mbps. Its compact form factor allows for easy wall mounting, and it can be integrated into a 14-slot FlexPoint rack chassis or used as a standalone unit, providing flexible deployment options for growing networks.
These media converters are unmanaged and plug-and-play, requiring no software configuration, which simplifies installation and reduces setup time. Supporting auto-negotiation, they automatically select the optimal speed and duplex mode, ensuring consistent and efficient data transfer. The UTP port supports both full- and half-duplex modes, while the automatic and manual pause functions help prevent network congestion by managing flow control. Additionally, jumbo frames up to 10,240 bytes are supported, facilitating large data transfers for demanding applications.
Designed for extended reach, the converter enables connection distances up to 220 meters when using 62.5-/125-μm or 100-/140-μm multimode fiber, and up to 550 meters with 50/125-μm fiber. It incorporates LED indicators for power, link status, activity, duplex mode, and remote fault detection, making troubleshooting straightforward. Remote fault indicators signal link loss or faults at the far end, providing proactive network management. The device also features DIP switches for port configuration and auto MDI/MDI-X functionality, eliminating the need for crossover cables.
The LMC1017A-MMSC is powered by an external 100-240VAC power supply and can be mounted to a wall or integrated into a rack system, offering flexible installation options. Its RoHS compliance and environmentally friendly design support sustainable practices. Whether used individually or in a high-density chassis, this media converter offers a cost-effective solution for bringing fiber connectivity closer to the desktop, reducing the need for dedicated fiber NICs and lowering overall deployment costs. With a limited two-year warranty, the Black Box FlexPoint LMC1017A-MMSC ensures reliable performance for your expanding LAN infrastructure.
