Black Box LPS500A-MM-LC-R3 PoE RJ45 to LC MM 550m Media Converter
This is a Black Box 10/100/1000B-T PoE PSE to 1000B-X Media Converter, a transceiver/media converter that connects Gigabit-speed fiber optic to 10-/100-/1000-Mbps copper UTP while powering 802.3af PoE devices. Manufacturer: Black Box Corporation; MPN: LPS500A-MM-LC-R3; UPC: 822088150589. It supports multimode fiber up to 0.55 km with 850 nm wavelength, features Auto MDI-X, link fault pass-through (LFP), far-end fault (FEF), and extensive PoE power management including overcurrent protection, undercurrent detection, and minimum load sensing.
Key Features of Black Box PoE PSE Gigabit Media Converter
- PoE PSE Capability – Powers 802.3af devices via copper port using 48-VDC over UTP, ideal for security cameras and wireless access points without nearby outlets.
- Gigabit Conversion – Transparently extends Ethernet beyond 100m CATx limit to multimode fiber at 1000Base-SX speeds.
- Auto Negotiation & MDI-X – Copper port auto-adjusts speed/features for easy cabling; simplifies installations.
- LED Indicators – Show PoE power feeding and interruptions for quick status checks.
- Link Fault Management – LFP disables TX on signal loss; FEF stops link pulses to prevent data loss over invalid links.
- Power Protections – Overcurrent, undercurrent detection, minimum load sensing, PSE MDI enable/disable.
- RoHS Compliant – Environmentally friendly with WEEE compliance.
- Wall Mountable Design – Compact for flexible deployment in network environments.

Advanced Network Reliability & Power Features
- Link Fault Pass-Through (LFP) – Monitors RX ports on fiber and copper; disables TX signal on loss to maintain link integrity.
- Far-End Fault (FEF) – Ceases link pulses on fiber RX loss, prompting synchronous stop from partner to avoid invalid data transmission.
- PoE Power Management – Includes overcurrent protection, undercurrent detection, minimum load sensing, and PSE MDI power enable/disable for safe operation.
- Deployment Flexibility – Uses existing UTP for data and power, reducing costs in areas with limited electrical access.
