PowerStar IV AS400
14-port Active UTP Repeater
Overview
The
PowerStar IV active repeater is a cost-effective way to convert a twinax
daisy chain topology to the greater reliability and flexibility of an
unshielded twisted pair star topology.

at (800)597-2525 for other Transition networks iSeries and AS/400 wiring
products such as twinax-to-fiber converters and twinax multiplexers.
Features
 | Connects
two hosts and 14 devices in a star configuration via twisted
pair cable at a total distance of up to 1520 meters (5,000
feet) from the host. |
|
| Provides
true start sequence regeneration and line synchronization. |
|
| Each port
has separate transceiver circuitry and is isolated from the
other ports, so disconnecting or removing one device does not
affect the other devices. |
|
| Automatically
compensates for speed differences among 5250 devices. |
|
| Expansion
slot and Slide-In-Cards (SICs) let you extend network
distances even further. An optional modular Twinax SIC extends
the total distance from the controller to each workstation to
1520 meters. Or the optional Fiber Optic SIC extends that
distance to 3,000 meters. |
