Product Short Description
Product Name: Black Box ACR1000A-R2 Media Converter / Extender
Product Introduction: The ACR1000A-R2 is a rack-mountable fiber optic media converter manufactured by Black Box Corporation (now part of AGC Networks). It converts copper Ethernet signals to fiber optic for extended-distance network transmission. The “-R2” suffix denotes the redundant power supply variant.

Material Composition: Steel chassis with black powder-coat finish, aluminum heat sink.
Structural Features: 1U rack-mountable with mounting ears. Front-panel LEDs, rear-panel fiber SC port and RJ-45 port.
Working Principle: Electrical Ethernet frames arriving at the RJ-45 port are converted to optical signals by an internal laser/photodiode transceiver and transmitted over fiber. The reverse path converts optical signals back to electrical for the copper port.
Key Advantages: Redundant power ensures zero downtime. Supports both multimode and single-mode fiber for flexible deployment.
Applicable Industries: Telecommunications, campus networks, industrial Ethernet, security/surveillance, transportation.
Model Series: ACR1000A Series
Installation Requirements: 19-inch rack, 1U space. Fiber cable must match the selected transceiver type (SX or LX). Ensure proper grounding of the rack.
Usage Precautions: Do not exceed maximum fiber bend radius (30 mm for multimode, 15 mm for single-mode). Clean fiber connectors before mating.
