Black Box Corporation LHC018A-AC-R2 PDU 18-Slot

Power Tray for Miniature Media Converters

The Black Box LHC018A-AC-R2 is a power distribution unit designed to support up to 18 miniature media converters in a single tray. It consolidates power delivery for dense fibre-to-copper conversion deployments in enterprise or campus networks. Network engineers use it to reduce cable clutter and simplify rack management.

Replaces Individual Wall-Wart Power Supplies

This unit eliminates the need for separate AC adapters for each converter, freeing outlet strips and reducing points of failure. The upgrade is worth it when managing multiple links in a telecommunications closet or data centre rack. It streamlines maintenance by centralising power distribution for the entire converter bank.

18-Slot Capacity for High-Density Deployments

The tray provides 18 dedicated slots, comfortably handling large converter clusters for building-to-building or floor-to-floor links. It runs out when a project requires more than 18 converters or when non-miniature form factors must be powered. Buyers needing PoE injection or managed switching functions should look elsewhere.
