Black Box LPS603A-SM1310 Gigabit PoE+ Fiber Media Converter

Extend Ethernet connectivity beyond copper distance limits with a single-mode fiber segment rated for 10 km operation. Black Box LPS603A-SM1310 supports 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet and FX fiber transport, allowing an Ethernet network connection to traverse a longer optical path while retaining Gigabit-capable connectivity. Its 1310 nm single-mode optical specification identifies the transceiver configuration required for the fiber run. PoE+ support makes this converter suitable where the Ethernet-side connection must also support powered network equipment. It fits remote-edge links that need both an optical uplink and PoE+ capability, including installations connecting field equipment, wireless infrastructure, cameras, or other powered endpoints to a distant network location. Confirm the connected Ethernet equipment and fiber plant match the converter's speed, PoE+, single-mode, wavelength, and distance requirements. This specific configuration combines three deployment-defining characteristics: 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet support, 1310 nm single-mode optics, and a 10 km fiber reach. Those details matter when selecting a converter for an existing fiber route, because optical mode, operating wavelength, and supported link distance must align with the installed cable plant and the equipment at the far end. The unit is intended for FX fiber extension where PoE+ support is required on the Ethernet connection.
