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.

    Pure Networking Device Sharer, Single-Mode SC


    Quick Facts

  • Connect industrial serial equipment, such as programmable logic controllers, and more, to your Fast Ethernet network.
  • Ideal for harsh manufacturing environments.
  • Offer easy plug-and-play installation.

  • Further Details

    Run 100BASE-FX Ethernet to serial industrial equipment, then make the connection using BLACK BOX® Pure Networking™ Fiber Device Servers.

    Use this server to connect programmable logic controllers and other RS-232/422/485 industrial equipment, such as milling machines, measurement instruments, even robots, to your copper network via fiber.

    The server is also ideal for connecting other devices such as card readers, lab equipment, medical equipment, and more.

    Plus the server makes it easy to integrate fiber cabling without modifying your existing copper network. You can keep costs down while upgrading! The server also eliminates the worry about EMI/RFI interference and data degradation in industrial areas. By using a terminator DIP switch, you can create the illusion of an infinite line for a true multidrop network.

    Choose the Pure Networking Copper Device Server (LS4103A-R2) to connect to serial devices over your 10- or 100-Mbps UTP Ethernet network.

    You can use Pure Networking Device Servers as standalone devices, wallmount them, or mount them on a DIN rail.
