FlexPoint® Modular Media Converters from Black Box are versatile and cost-effective standalone media converters that can be upgraded to a chassis-based system. They provide ultimate flexibility and reliability for your expanding multimedia LAN and support a wide selection of converter options, including legacy media converters like ThinNet and 10BASE-FL.

Choices include:

• Ethernet
• Fast Ethernet
• Gigabit Ethernet
• UTP
• Single-Mode Fiber
• Multimode Fiber
• ThinNet
• Long-distance Fiber Converters
• ATM OC-3
• ATM OC-12
• 10/100 Rate Converters
• T1/E1 Line Drivers
• RS-232

This impressive system's variety and versatility make it ideal for networks subject to constant upgrades and changes. Tailor the system to your needs: start with the media converters you require and use them individually. When your LAN grows, mount the media converters on the wall, in the 5-position Rackmount Kit, or as modules in the Power Chassis, which holds up to 14 converters and offers single or dual AC/DC power supply.
