Maximize the reach and reliability of your serial connections with the Black Box FlexPoint 14-Slot Media Converter Chassis. Built to extend RS-232 links over secure, interference-free fiber, this modular enclosure consolidates 14 FlexPoint converter modules into a single, rack-mountable chassis. Designed for demanding industrial networking environments and professional office deployments, the FlexPoint chassis delivers robust performance, scalable growth, and simplified maintenance. By placing RS-232 devices such as controllers, modems, and terminals behind fiber, you gain long-distance communication, galvanic isolation, and immunity to electrical noise—without sacrificing speed or compatibility. Whether you’re deploying a new factory floor control network or upgrading an existing serial backbone, this 14-slot chassis provides the flexible foundation you need to future-proof your infrastructure.

  • Scalable 14-slot enclosure: Accommodates up to fourteen FlexPoint modules, allowing you to mix and match RS-232 to fiber converters with other module types as your network evolves.
  • Industrial-grade reliability: Rugged construction, front-accessible slots, and secure fiber-optic links designed to withstand harsh manufacturing environments, vibrations, and temperature fluctuations.
  • Secure, interference-free fiber extension: Extend RS-232 connections over single-mode or multimode fiber with galvanic isolation, dramatically reducing EMI and ground-loop issues.
  • Rack-mount ready and serviceable: 19" rack-compatible chassis with modular inserts for quick hot-swaps and simplified maintenance, minimizing downtime during upgrades or repairs.
  • Easy deployment and management: Plug-and-play FlexPoint converters plug into the slots; LED indicators and documented front-panel access streamline installation, monitoring, and troubleshooting.

how to install Black Box FlexPoint 14-Slot Media Converter Chassis

  • Plan your module layout: Determine the RS-232 devices to be connected and allocate slots for each corresponding FlexPoint converter module to optimize cable routing and heat management.
  • Prepare the rack: Install the chassis into a stable 19" rack or cabinet, ensuring proper ventilation and clearance for front-panel access and rear cable management.
  • Connect power: Connect the chassis to a reliable power source that matches regional specifications; ensure the power switch is in the OFF position during initial setup.
  • Install modules: Insert FlexPoint RS-232-to-Fiber converter modules firmly into available slots; secure them with any provided latches or screws as per the installation guide.
  • Connect fiber cabling: Attach appropriate fiber optic cables to the module connectors, selecting single-mode or multimode fibers based on distance and requirements, then route cables for minimum bend radius.
  • Connect RS-232 devices: Wire RS-232 endpoints to the corresponding converter modules, observing proper polarity and signaling standards; secure connectors to prevent accidental disconnections.
  • Power up and configure: Apply power, check LED indicators for healthy status, and configure any module-specific settings via the module interface or connected management tools as required.
  • Test and validate: Run end-to-end tests between RS-232 devices over fiber to verify link integrity, baud rates, and data reliability; document configuration for future maintenance.

Frequently asked questions

  • Q: What is the primary purpose of the Black Box FlexPoint 14-Slot Media Converter Chassis? A: It provides a scalable, modular enclosure to host up to fourteen RS-232-to-Fiber converter modules, enabling long-distance, secure, interference-free serial communication in industrial and office environments.
  • Q: Can I mix different FlexPoint modules in the same chassis? A: Yes. The chassis is designed to accept multiple FlexPoint module types, allowing you to tailor the deployment to your RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 to fiber needs as required.
  • Q: What advantages does fiber provide for RS-232 links?
  • A: Fiber offers galvanic isolation, reduced susceptibility to EMI, and the ability to extend distances well beyond copper cabling limits, which is especially beneficial in industrial settings with electrical noise or long-haul connections.
  • Q: How difficult is installation and maintenance?
  • A: The chassis is designed for straightforward plug-and-play deployment. Front-accessible slots enable quick module swaps, while LED indicators simplify monitoring. Regular maintenance involves module checks and ensuring proper cable management.
  • Q: What environments is the 14-slot chassis best suited for?
  • A: It’s ideal for factories, process control facilities, data centers, and enterprise networks where a scalable, multi-module RS-232-to-fiber solution is needed to extend serial devices securely over fiber.

Compact
Color: Silver
Size fits well on back of sink. However, the bottom needs some kind of non slip traction as the unit slides a lot. Had to put something under it to keep from moving around.

This was a very disappointing purchase
Color: Silver
This kitchen soap dispenser with sponge holder looks really nice in the picture, but..... it is so......flimsy. It is so lite weight that it almost falls into the sink every time I try to dispense dish washing soap. I was really looking for something rather heavy in weight (because of the metal) but elegant looking. I guess this is just one of those items that you actually need to see and feel before purchasing. I kept it because I needed some kind of soap dispenser after another soap dispenser, of which I purchased from Amazon over a year ago, it was made of plastic, and it broke. It was heavy and really looked nice on my sink. I guess I am still looking for a good one.

Shows smudges on its stainless steel...
Color: Silver
Nice compact size sitting next to our SS sink. However, you'll spend more time cleaning the SS soap dispenser as it continually picks up fingerprints and smudges.
