This Extreme Media Converter Switch from Black Box is the versatile way to extend your network. It does more than just adapt from one cable type to another.

This means you can connect it together with other Media Converter Switches indefinitely without worrying about interrepeater links.

Choose this Extreme Media Converter Switches for outdoor use in exposed locations with temperature ranges of -40° to +167° F (-40° to +75° C)—all they need in the way of protection is shelter from direct rainfall. Like our hardened models, this Extreme Media Converter Switch features a sealed case, which uses its own metal shell as a heat sink. Choose them for applications such as traffic signal control or for sensors or surveillance cameras in outdoor plants. Extreme Media Converter Switches are rated for above-the-ceiling plenum installation.

Because it's a switch as well as a media converter, this Media Converter Switch provides more options in network topology, overcoming the distance limitations inherent with simple media converters—to add extra distance, just daisychain another Media Converter Switch. If you need more ports at your remote location, just add a Convenient Switch. This multimode model supports up to 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) between Media Converter Switches.The Switch also has two full sets of LED indicators: one set on the front for viewing convenience when the Media Converter is DIN rail or wallmounted, and one set mounted in the end next to the media ports for easy viewing when units are in a rackmount tray.
