LED Description

PWR Illuminates GREEN to indicate power applied.

LINK/L (TP) Illuminates GREEN, to indicate proper connectivity on the 10BASE-T network segment. LINK will turn off in the event connectivity is lost between the ends of the twisted pair segment or a loss of power occurs in the unit or remote device.

RX/A Blinking GREEN indicates data is being received, receive activity. (Steady ON or steady OFF indicates no receive activity).

POL/PO (TP) Illuminates AMBER to indicate inverse polarity detected.

LE1502AE-R4, LE1508A, 10 mbps economy media converters, LE1508AE, LE1502A-R3 specifications

The Black Box LE1502A-R3 and LE1508AE 10 Mbps economy media converters are designed to bridge different networking technologies effectively and efficiently. These devices cater to users who need cost-effective solutions for connecting legacy networks with contemporary Ethernet infrastructures. With a focus on reliability and ease of use, these media converters allow seamless communication across various types of cabling.

One of the standout features of the LE1502A-R3 is its ability to convert 10BASE-T Ethernet to 10BASE-2 (thin coaxial) or 10BASE-5 (thick coaxial), offering versatile connectivity options. This flexibility is vital for users who may have existing coaxial cabling and want to integrate newer technologies without replacing the entire infrastructure. The LE1508AE, on the other hand, operates as a multiport converter that can accommodate multiple connections, making it ideal for expanding network capabilities without significant investment.

Both models are designed with user-friendliness in mind. They are plug-and-play devices, which means they don't require extensive configuration or technical expertise for installation. This feature is particularly advantageous for small businesses or users looking for straightforward solutions without the overhead of technical staff. Additionally, the units provide LED indicators for power, link status, and activity, which enables easy monitoring of connections and troubleshooting if necessary.

The LE1508A provides enhanced network scalability by supporting multiple devices simultaneously, accommodating a variety of applications including remote offices, branch networking, or even industrial settings. Meanwhile, the LE1502AE-R4 version boasts built-in surge protection, which is essential for safeguarding network integrity against electrical fluctuations—a critical feature for environments prone to such issues.

Both the LE1502A and LE1508AE are crafted to ensure long-lasting performance, featuring robust housing and components that can sustain harsh conditions without compromising functionality. Ultimately, these Black Box media converters represent a practical solution for organizations looking to expand their networks while maintaining the efficiency and reliability needed for critical operations. By leveraging these devices, users can achieve effective integration of older cabling technologies with modern Ethernet networks, ultimately enhancing overall productivity and connectivity.
