BLACK BOX Media Converter ST-to-BNC, P/N:LE1500A-BNC

Black Box Media Converters offer a compact, cost-effective way to adapt a preexisting Ethernet cabling configuration as network requirements change. They offer a graceful way to convert and transmit data among twisted pair, thin coaxial and fiber network cabling environments. A variety of twisted-pair-to-fiber models provide for multi-mode or single-mode, full-or half-duplex, ST or SC connectors, and normal or Link-pass-through operation. Black Box Media Converters cost significantly less than full repeaters and can be used whenever media distance limitations will not be exceeded in the new environment. All units are compatible with Ethernet V 1.0 / 2.0
specifications and comply with IEEE 802.3 standards.

Black Box Media Converters are designed for quick and easy installation even in very tight spaces. Media cables are easily attached to the corresponding Media Converter. Because of their compact size, Black Box Media Converters can be Velcro®- mounted on an office wall or the side of a desk or cabinet. The external power supply plugs into a nearby AC wall socket or power strip. Each converter features a full set of LEDs that convey essential diagnostic and status information.

Black Box Media Converters are designed to provide low-temperature operation over an extended period to make them some of the most reliable in the industry. Their high-strength fabricated metal packaging shields against Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI).

Black Box Media Converters are specifically designed to convert data signaling to allow transmission between two different Ethernet cabling types, allowing migration to a new media type while preserving segments of the pre-existing wiring structure.All of the Black Box Media Converters comply with the IEEE 802.3 10BASET specification for 10 Mb/sec traffic via shielded (STP) or unshielded twisted pair (UTP) segments. The Media Converters feature an up-link to eliminate the need for a special cross-over cable when connecting to a hub or concentrator. The maximum number of 10Mb Media Converters that can be used in series is three. The cumulative noise from 4 or more units together causes packet alignment errors.
