Black Box 10km Fiber Gigabit PoE Media Converter

The Black Box LPS500A-SM-10K-LC-R3 is a gigabit media converter that turns a standard copper Ethernet run into a single mode fiber link that reaches up to 10 kilometers. At the same time it delivers up to 30 watts of 802.3af PoE, so a single CATx cable carries both data and power to the edge of your network.

Support for 10, 100, and 1000 megabit speeds lets the converter slip into both new and legacy installations. Built-in power management guards against overcurrent and undercurrent events, and link fault pass through instantly reports fiber or copper interruptions to your switch. Front panel LEDs provide at a glance status checks, helping technicians verify links without extra tools.

This flexibility makes the unit a practical choice for security cameras mounted on light poles, access points in large auditoriums, or any other PoE device that sits far from a convenient electrical outlet. The enclosure is compact and durable, so it can be tucked into crowded racks or wall boxes without fuss. Compliance with IEEE 802.3af, 802.3u, and 802.3x standards keeps interoperability simple with the rest of your Ethernet equipment.
