Black Box LPS535A-SFP – Gigabit PoE+ Media Converter SFP

Product Overview

The Black Box LPS535A-SFP is a Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ media converter with an SFP slot for flexible fiber or copper uplink selection. Designed for commercial network deployments, it extends IEEE 802.3at PoE+ power delivery over fiber runs where copper infrastructure is impractical. AV integrators and IT teams use this converter to connect PoE-dependent devices — IP cameras, VoIP phones, wireless access points — across fiber backbone segments without adding a separate power injector.

Product Description

The LPS535A-SFP bridges 10/100/1000BASE-T copper networks with fiber optic infrastructure using a user-selectable SFP transceiver module. The device delivers up to 30W of IEEE 802.3at PoE+ power on the copper RJ-45 port, making it well-suited for powering PTZ cameras, 802.11ac access points, and other high-draw PoE endpoints across extended fiber runs. The SFP slot accepts standard LC-interface modules for multimode or single-mode fiber, giving integrators the flexibility to match existing plant infrastructure without rewiring. The converter operates in standalone mode with no management software required, simplifying deployment in wiring closets, above-ceiling enclosures, and remote distribution points. Auto-negotiation on the copper port handles speed and duplex selection automatically. The compact form factor and wide operating temperature range suit both conditioned and semi-conditioned spaces.
