Black Box FlexPoint media converter module with LC fiber port

Black Box Corporation

Black Box Corporation LMC1012A camera accessory

SKU CH-J9X9-6S7G8 MPN LMC1012A

Converts copper Gigabit Ethernet to fibre with LC connectors, reaching 220 metres on multimode cable

  • Converts copper Gigabit Ethernet to fiber connectivity
  • Extends network reach up to 220 metres on multimode fibre
  • Plug-and-play operation with no software installation required
  • Diagnostic LEDs show power and device link status
  • Mountable on wall, DIN rail or compatible chassis

Copper-to-fiber media converter

The Black Box FlexPoint LMC1012A converts a 1000BASE-T copper Gigabit Ethernet link to a 1000BASE-SX fiber connection using an LC interface. It operates transparently without any software configuration. Diagnostic LEDs display power status and the link condition of attached devices. Hardware is included for mounting the unit on a wall or a DIN rail.

Network installers needing fiber reach

This converter suits technicians extending a Gigabit network over multimode fiber up to 220 meters or 721.7 feet. It also fits administrators who may later migrate the standalone unit into a 14-slot chassis or a 5-position rackmount kit. Buyers who require single-mode fiber distances or a different connector type should look at other models.

1000BASE-SX LC fiber interface

The decisive specification is the 1000BASE-SX LC port, which defines the fiber mode, wavelength and maximum reach of 220 meters. The copper side complies with IEEE 802.3ab 1000BASE-T and supports both full- and half-duplex operation. Matching this interface to your existing cabling plant determines whether the converter is the correct part.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the FlexPoint LMC1012A converter, and what must I buy separately?

The converter includes diagnostic LEDs and hardware for wall or DIN-rail mounting; multimode fiber patch cords and a power supply are not included unless you choose the universal power supply option.

Which version of the LMC1012A should I select for my link distance?

The module supports 1000BASE-SX multimode fiber up to 220 metres or 721.7 feet; choose this version when your fiber run stays within that range.

What does the 1000BASE-T to 1000BASE-SX conversion mean for my Gigabit Ethernet network?

It transparently bridges copper UTP and multimode fiber at 1000 Mbps, supporting full- and half-duplex on both ports with no software configuration required.
