Gigabit PoE++ Media Converter

The Black Box Corporation LGC5600A converts 10/100/1000 Mbps copper Ethernet to fibre while delivering PoE++ power to attached devices. It is intended for network installers who need to extend powered connections beyond standard copper distance limits.

Copper Distance Constraint

Copper Ethernet segments are limited to 100 metres per link, so this converter is required whenever the powered device sits further from the switch than that bound allows. The fibre side removes the length restriction without sacrificing the 1000 Mbps data rate.

Replaces Mid-Span Injectors

This unit replaces separate mid-span PoE injectors and standalone media converters by combining both functions in one chassis. The upgrade is worth it when a deployment needs both power delivery and fibre reach without extra power outlets or rack space.

Questions about this item

Which version of the LGC5600A should I pick for a gigabit copper link?

The single model LGC5600A handles 10, 100 and 1000 Mbps on the copper side, so one unit covers all three speeds.

What does the 1000 Mbps rating mean once the converter is installed?

The converter passes traffic at up to 1 Gbps between the copper port and the fibre port without slowing the link.

What interface does the LGC5600A use and what speed does it cap at?

It uses a 10/100/1000 Mbps copper interface that negotiates up to 1 Gbps and a matching fibre interface at the same rate.
