Keyword Search
Our search engine uses any or all keywords typed in the text box to give you product search results.
For instance, typing in kvm will give you a broader set of results than kvm switch cables.

Note, however, that keywords in quotes are treated as a single phrase and will not be evaluated individually.

Booleans (AND, +, OR, NOT, -) are not supported.

Also, some keywords will not return results, and may automatically correct to a similar keyword.

Part Number Search Selection
Select this Search in the drop down box to search by part number instead of keywords.

Wild Card Search
The * character is only supported in a limited capacity. Using whole words is the best approach whenever possible.

"New Search" Radio Button

Description

Industrial MultiPower Media Converter, 10-/100-Mbps Copper to 100-Mbps Single-Strand Fiber, 1310-nm TX/1550-nm RX, 60 km

Quick Facts

Power up one of four ways: with AC or DC power, via a PC’s USB port, or using Power over Ethernet (PoE).

Convert 10-/100-Mbps copper to single-strand 100-Mbps fiber, autonegotiating for speed on the copper side.

Extends your network up to 60 kilometers (37.3 mi.) over a single strand of single-mode fiber when used together with the LIC057A-R2.

Further Details

Operates in temperatures from -13 to +158º F.

Includes clips for mounting on DIN rails.

This single-mode, single-strand media converter is part of the Miniature MultiPower Media Converter family. These ultra-compact, plug-and-play converters offer power options that include support for the IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) standard. Plus, Industrial MultiPower Media Converters are designed for use in harsh industrial environments.

In all, there are four different ways to power the converter: with its AC adapter, using 5–50-VDC terminal block power, via an optional USB Power Adapter Cable, which you plug into your PC’s USB port and is sold separately (LHC021A), or over a PoE link.

You can even use multiple power options at the same time to provide maximum redundancy and ensure that your mission-critical applications remain up and running. For instance, you can connect a converter to power sourcing equipment (PSE) for PoE while also using AC adapter power, DC terminal block power, and USB bus power. Then, if any one of these power sources fails, the other sources will continue to supply power to the converter seamlessly.

You can also connect a PSE switch to an uninterruptible power supply to ensure that the switch and each connected media converter always have power.

The converter comes with a DIN clip for DIN rail mounting. When installing multiple Industrial MultiPower Media Converters on a DIN rail, use one DC input source, then cascade from one DC block to the next until you reach the maximum current available (for an example, click on “Application Diagrams”).
