Connect up to four
workstations to one
Token Ring lobe.

Reduces cabling and
installation costs.

Models available for
UTP or STP cable.

Autosenses data rates
of 4 or 16Mbps.

Wire-fault detection
disconnects from the
ring automatically in
case of shorts, open
circuits, or incorrect
speeds.

C

onnect two or four token-ring
workstations to a single lobe

with the Smart Lobe Access Unit.
You save on cabling and
installation costs by adding
workstations to the ring without
adding extra lobe cables to the
central hub.

Three Smart Lobe Access Unit

models are available: 4-port
versions for either ordinary
unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or
shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable
and a 2-port version for UTP
cable.

The Smart Lobe Access Units

feature wire-fault detection,
which senses any short, open, or
illegal impedance in the main lobe
connection. If a fault is detected,
the Access Unit deinserts all
connected workstations.

Power the Smart Lobe Access

Unit from an external DC power
adapter via the MAIN connector
(requires 6-wire cabling) or via a
modular power jack.

Double or quadruple a

single lobe’s capacity!
