connection. This converter can be used as a standalone unit.
2.2 WHAT’S INCLUDED
Before you start installing the Converter, verify that the package contains the following:
10/100/1000BASE ‐T to 1000BASE-X-PoE+ Gigabit Ethernet Converter SFP
48-VDC power adapter
Power cord
If anything is missing or damaged, contact Black Box Technical Support at 877-877-2269 or info@blackbox.com
2.3 HARDWARE DESCRIPTION
Figures 2-1 and 2-2 show the front and back panels of the converter. Table 2-1 describes its components.

CHAPTER 3: LINK FAULT PASSTHROUGH (LFP)
The LFP function includes the Link Fault Pass Through function (LLCF/LLR) and the DIP Switch design. LLCF/LLR can immediately
alarm administrators the problem of the link media and provide efficient solution to monitor the net. By setting the DIP switch, you
can disable or enable the LFP function.
LLCF (Link Loss Carry Forward) means that when a device connected to the converter and the TP line loses the link, the converter’s
fiber will disconnect the link of transmit. LLR (Link Loss Return) means that when a device connected to the converter and the fiber
line loses the link, the converter’s fiber will disconnect the link of transmit. Both can immediately alarm administrators that there is
a problem with the link media.
NOTE: The LFP function is turned off as default. This feature can also be turned on via the side DIP-Switch. If you are not familiar
with the network installation and for diagnostic purposes (i.e. check which end is broken), you can turn it on and reset the converter
to make it take effect. Otherwise, keep it in the default position.

CHAPTER 4: INSTALLING THE CONVERTER
Follow these steps to install the PoE+ Media converter:
1. Turn off the power of the device/station in a network to which the Switch will be attached.
2. Ensure that there is no activity in the network.
NOTE: LFP420, LFP421 are single-strand fiber SFPs, so they must be used in pairs.
NOTE: Use the LFP416 for a copper interface.
NOTE: Only the built-in copper interface will do PoE.
4. Attach a fiber cable from the Switch to the fiber network.
5. Attach a CAT5/5e/6 UTP cable from the 10/100/1000BASE-T network to the RJ-45 port on the switch.
6. Connect the 48-VDC power adapter to the switch and verify that the Power LED lights up.
7. Turn on the power of the device/station, the TX Link and FX Link LEDs should light when all cables are attached.

CHAPTER 5: POE FUNCTION
Before your installation, we recommended that you check your network environment. If there is an IEEE 802.3at/802.3af device you
need to power on, the switch can provide a way to supply power for this Ethernet device conveniently and easily. The Switch equips
an AC-DC adapter with 52-VDC input and it injects the DC power into the pin of the twisted pair cable (Pin 1, 2, 3 and 6).
