Black Box Hardened Media Converter Switch 12-VDC - fiber media converter -

Convenient and compact networking device with Plug-and-play installation. Designed for NEBS compliance to withstand shock vibration and high altitudes. Copper ports auto-negotiate to network and device speeds. Autocross (MDI-X) on the copper side. Cascade easily without the need for a crossover cable. Provides full 10- 100- and 1000-Mbps switching for high-performance LANs. Supports VLANs. Retrieves and transmits 802.1q tagged data packets unchanged. Use store-and-forward type switching to eliminate bad packet propagation and maximize bandwidth. Dynamically allocates buffer space minimizing the dropping of frames on congested ports. Collision-based flow control (half-duplex mode only) stops frames from entering when buffer queue space is low. Internal addresses are self-learning. Change port connections or domains without affecting operations. Operates transparent to software. Includes metal panel mounting clips. RoHS compliant. This compact networking device combines the functions of a copper-to-fiber media
