10G Copper-to-Fiber Media Converter

The Black Box LGC220A converts 10GBASE-T copper links to 10GBASE-R fiber through an SFP+ slot. It supports 10, 2.5, and 1 Gbps speeds on the RJ45 side and works with multimode or single-mode fiber modules. A 12 VDC external power adapter with international clips is included.

Replaces Shorter Copper Runs

When a 100 m CATx limit blocks a 10 Gbps link, this unit extends the connection over fiber at the same rate. The jump is worth it whenever the distance exceeds 328 ft or when electromagnetic immunity is required. It does not convert between different speeds, only between media types at identical rates.

Suits Enterprise and AV Installers

Network engineers extending 10G switches across buildings or AV teams running uncompressed video over fiber will find the standalone form factor simple to deploy. Buyers needing a chassis-managed solution or a rate-converting device should look at managed alternatives.

Questions about this item

How much rack or desk space does the 1" H x 3.7" W x 2.7" D chassis need?

The standalone converter measures 2.5 cm high, 9.4 cm wide and 6.9 cm deep, so it fits on a shelf or in a shallow rack tray without special brackets.

Which cable order avoids a link-down when connecting the RJ45 and SFP+ ports?

Insert the SFP module first, secure the fiber patch cord, then plug the Cat6a or better copper cable into the RJ45; power up last so the PHY negotiates 10GBASE-T to 10GBASE-R cleanly.

When should the external 12 VDC 1 A wall adapter be replaced?

Replace the adapter if the barrel connector becomes loose, the unit fails to power on from a known-good outlet, or the converter operates above 50 °C ambient despite adequate airflow.
