Search Tips...

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
Search the entire section that you are currently in.

"Search Within Results" Radio Button
Enter keywords or a part number to limit your results within the previously searched results.


Other features

A list of all matching product categories or resources will appear in the upper left corner of the results page, when applicable, to help you further narrow your results, if you desire.

Use the "sort by" drop-down menu on the results page to sort by "most popular" and price (low to high or high to low)
in the store section.

LE1416A

Extended Double Diamond™ Warranty Available
(Three years for two)

Product Highlights

  • Description

    Modular Fiber Switch, 16-Port (with Rackmount Kit)


    Quick Facts

  • Configure with as few as four ports, then add modules as your network requirements grow.
  • Mix and match fiber ports with twisted-pair ports. Mix and match speeds, too: 10 Mbps, 10/100 Mbps, and 100 Mbps.

  • Further Details

  • All RJ-45 module ports are 10/100 switching and 10-/100-Mbps autonegotiating.
  • A RoHS-compliant 16-port model (LE1416AE) is also available.
  • All ports support half- and full-duplex modes.
  • Silicon-based switching (ASIC).
  • Store-and-forward switching.
  • Self-learning address tables.
  • Full-speed filter and forwarding across all ports.

  • Need to increase the efficiency of your large Ethernet LAN? Segment it into subnetworks with a high-powered, flexible BLACK BOX® Modular Fiber Switch.

    Choose your chassis.
    Three chassis styles are available: 8-port, 8-port rackmount, and 16-port. A 16-port RoHS-compliant model is also available. All four models can be configured with as few as four ports. Then you can add modules according to the demands of your network—without breaking your budget.

    Make a melting pot of media and speeds.
    Our Mixed Media Fiber Switches offer maximum flexibility for your network because you can configure any combination of fiber and RJ-45 modules and 10-Mbps, 10-/100-Mbps, and 100-Mbps speeds. You can install any module in any slot in any chassis. A wide variety of 4-port modules is available.

    Choose from:
  • 10- and 100-Mbps multimode fiber (LE1424C, LE1428C, LE1419C, LE1422C-LE1423C).
  • 10-/100-Mbps twisted-pair (LE1425C).
  • 100-Mbps single-mode fiber (LE1421C, LE1421C-40K).
  • 10-/100-Mbps mixed-media (LE1426C, LE1426C-SM, LE1427C)

    Set up in a flash.
    Network changes and additions are quick and easy with the self-learning Modular Fiber Switch. These switches automatically learn and maintain the addresses of attached nodes. The addresses are stored in a 24K-node address table that’s large enough to support your bulging LAN. Plus, an 8 MB packet buffer yields advanced performance, even with unbalanced loads.

    To top it all off, the internal, autosensing power supply operates both in the U.S. and internationally. You can set it up quickly and easily anywhere you have an AC-powered connection.

    Transmit error-free data efficiently.
    The Modular Fiber Switches feature store-and-forward switching on all ports. They read each complete data packet into an internal buffer, temporarily storing it and checking it against the individual switch’s internal address list. The entire packet undergoes an error-checking procedure to validate its integrity. Once verified, the packet is then forwarded from the buffer to the appropriate destination device. And because faulty packets are filtered out, traffic congestion is minimized.

    Any media, any speed, any network, anywhere.
    For truly versatile networking, populate a Modular Fiber Switch. With the option of 4, 8, 12, or 16 fiber or twisted-pair ports at your choice of speeds, you can’t go wrong. It’s the ideal migration path from 10-Mbps to 100-Mbps and from twisted pair to fiber.
