2.2 Product Description
The 4-Port BNC Repeater can expand a 10Mb Ethernet network by
interconnecting up to four individual Ethernet BNC segments, i.e., it operates as a BNC
“hub”. In addition, an AUI port provides a connection for other media types, such as an
AUI drop-cable or another media (such as RJ-45 twisted pair of Fiber) via an appropriate
mini-transceiver attached to the AUI port.
Each 4-Port BNC Repeater unit is a complete operational unit with internal auto-
ranging (for world-wide use) power supply. It is enclosed in a compact, rugged metal
enclosure. The media connectors and the status LEDs are all conveniently accessed from the
front. It is easily installed and is suitable for wiring closet shelf or desktop mounting.
The 4-Port BNC Repeater provides full repeater functionality per IEEE 802.3
specifications and is compliant with Ethernet V1.0/2.0 standards.
