FlexPoint Media Converters from Black Box are versatile and cost-effective standalone converters that provide the ultimate in flexibility and reliability for your expanding LAN.

The incredible variety and versatility of this system make it ideal for networks that are subject to constant upgrades and changes.

Tailor the system to your requirements. Get the converters you need now and use them individually. Then, when your LAN grows, mount your converters on the wall, in the FlexPoint 5-Position Rackmounting Kit, or in the FlexPoint Power Chassis. The chassis holds 14 converters and single or dual AC or DC power supplies.

The model featured here connects to 10-, 100-, or 1000-Mbps Ethernet on the copper side and to your choice of optical fiber on the SFP transceiver side, depending on what you require for fiber type, speed, and distance. The media converter supports duplex and single-fiber 155- and 1250-Mbps SFPs for standard communications as well as CWDM wavelengths for increased fiber bandwidth capacity.

For easy installation and troubleshooting, LEDs indicate the availability of power, port activity and link status, and duplex mode. Remote fault indicators signal loss of link for far-end fault and link fault conditions. Detection of these indicators or link modes can be propagated to the other port to notify connected end devices of faults.
