Power Requirements, Power Supply Types
Black Box Media Converters require 6 watts of power and are designed to be
used with an external power supply.
The external power supply unit supplied is one of
two types; one version (U.S. and Canadian models) for AC input power of 115 vac 60
Hz, and one international version for 230 vac 50 Hz. The 115 vac version has a small
transformer integral with a convenience power outlet plug. The 230 vac version has a
small transformer integral with an IEC-type power plug for a user-supplied AC power
cord with a convenience power outlet plug. Both types include a lightweight DC power
cord to the applicable power jack on the Media Converter unit.
