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.

    MultiPower Miniature Media Converter, 10-/100-Mbps Copper to 100-Mbps Single-Strand Fiber, Single-Mode, 1550-nm TX/1310-nm RX, SC, 20 km


    Quick Facts

  • More convenient and less expensive than installing fiber NICs.
  • Connect Ethernet or Fast Ethernet to fiber optic cable.
  • Compact size—measures just 0.8"H x 1.8"W x 3.4"D.
  • Autonegotiate for speed and duplex.
  • Powered by a universal AC power supply, a PC’s USB port, or the optional rackmountable PowerTray.

  • Further Details

  • Auto MDI/MDI-X means you never need to worry about what kind of cable to use.

  • Black Box® MultiPower Miniature Media Converters make it easy to bring fiber to the desktop. Just connect a MultiPower Miniature Media Converter to your PC’s copper port with a CAT5 cable, then connect a fiber cable to the converter’s other side. That’s all there is to it! Best of all, you can tuck these tiny converters unobtrusively behind your PC.

    The converters not only link 10- and 100-Mbps segments to fiber cabling, they also work as data rate converters, performing 10/100 autonegotiation on the twisted-pair port.

    Choose from multimode and single-mode single-strand fiber versions. Single-mode media converters support distances of 20 kilometers (12.4 mi.) or 40 kilometers (24.8 mi.), depending on the model you order. The single-strand single-mode version featured here supports distances up to 20 kilometers.

    For extra versatility, you can power the MultiPower Miniature Media Converter one of three ways: through the external AC power supply included with each converter, through the optional USB Power Adapter Cable (which plugs into a PC’s USB port and is sold separately), or through the optional rackmount PowerTray (sold separately). Available with AC or DC power, the PowerTray provides power for up to 18 converters in only 5U of rack space. Rackmount ears are included.

    NOTE: Single-strand models must be used in matching pairs; use this model with the LHC028A.
