4-Port BNC Repeater Installation and User Guide

2.4 Applications
The 4-Port BNC Repeaters are generally used to extend or interconnect BNC
Ethernet segments. In addition, an AUI port enables a ThickNet backbone or another media
connection via a mini-transceiver. (The BNC taps and terminators, as well as the mini-
transceivers illustrated below are not supplied with the unit, may be purchased separately).
As many as four repeaters may be connected in series to connect users at the extremities of
5X the standard segment distance while still adhering to the Ethernet "four repeater" rule.
Figure 2.4.1: 4-Port BNC Repeaters combine and extend segments of 10BASE2
networks, and have an AUI port for different media and backbone connections.
The internal auto-ranging power supply of the 4-Port BNC Repeater permits it to
be installed anywhere in the world. In the workplace or in a wiring closet, the 4-Port BNC
Repeater unit may be conveniently shelf or table-top mounted and plugged into a standard
AC power convenience outlet for a simple installation. For rack-mounting, the 4-Port BNC
Repeater can easily sit on a rack-shelf in a 2U vertical space.
