The 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 expanding multimedia LANs. FlexPoint offers a wide range of converter options, including media converters for legacy media like ThinNet and 10BASE-FL.

Available options:

• 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

The variety and versatility of this system make it ideal for networks needing regular upgrades. Customize the system to fit your needs: Use the media converters individually now, and later, mount them on the wall, in the 5-position rackmount kit, or as modules in the power chassis, which holds 14 media converters and a single or dual AC or DC power supply.
