Black Box LGC135A-R3 MultiPower Miniature Media Converter

Description

The Black Box LGC135A-R3 is a MultiPower miniature media converter that requires careful handling to maintain optimal performance. Fiber optic transmitters and receivers are extremely susceptible to contamination by particles of dirt or dust, which can obstruct the optic path and cause performance degradation . Good system performance requires clean optics and connector ferrules. Black Box ships these devices with dust caps installed to ensure factory-clean optical devices; these protective caps should not be removed until the moment of connecting the fiber cable. If you disconnect the fiber device, reinstall the protective dust caps and store spare caps in a dust-free environment such as a sealed plastic bag or box . The device also requires electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions – wear an ESD wrist grounding strap before handling, hold units by the edges without touching electronic components or gold connectors, and always place boards on a grounded, static-free surface when removed from the chassis .
