high, standalone unit that includes diag-
nostic LEDs for each port and an internal
universal (100-240 VAC) power supply.

I MPORTANT I NSTALLATION I NFORMATION!
Compact Media Converters do not auto-negotiate, therefore Black Box does NOT rec-
ommend connecting them to a switch, media converter or other device that ONLY
auto-negotiates; connect to devices that are 10 Mbps or to devices that you can force
to 10 Mbps.
