The Black Box Micro Mini Media Converter is ideal for bringing fiber to desktop and mobile applications where lightweight, compact size, and low power requirements are critical. Weighing only 2.5 ounces and about the length of a house key, this ultra-compact media converter is portable yet powerful. It can be USB-powered for extra versatility, making it easy to provide fiber connectivity to locations where AC or DC power is unavailable, for instance, field-deployed fiber-to-the-laptop. This tiny converter also conveniently slips into a pocket or laptop carrying case for easy portability.

The converter is plug-and-play with an RJ-45 port that auto negotiates for speed, duplex mode, and crossover functions for PCs with 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T Ethernet. On the fiber side, the converter accepts SFPs for connection to a variety of Gigabit Ethernet fiber types. Because it can be powered through a computer's USB 1.0 or 2.0 port, the Micro Mini Media Converter is ideal for connections to fiber in areas where a spare power outlet may not be available. When plugged into a computer's USB port, the media converter shuts down automatically when you turn off the computer, which saves energy. Use it with Black Box 1250-Mbps SFPs (LFP411, LFP412, LFP413, LFP414) or any other standard 1250-Mbps SFP.
