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. -
Page 12: 4-Port Bnc Repeater Chassis
2.2.1 4-Port BNC Repeater Chassis The 4-Port BNC Repeater functions as a BNC “hub” repeater. Its chassis houses the main repeater circuit board, the port connectors and status LEDs, and the power supply. The BNC ports are used for attaching one Ethernet BNC (or ThinNet) segment each, and provide full IEEE 802.3 repeater functionality supporting a full length segment. -
Page 13: Features And Benefits
Manual Partition switch on each BNC port The 4-Port BNC Repeater features a pushbutton switch on each BNC port that enables that port to be isolated. This simplifies installation and repairs. When a port is manually partitioned, devices and connections attached to it may be tested or serviced without the risk of interfering with the operation of the other ports. -
Page 14: Applications
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. -
Page 15: Installation
It is typically shelf-mounted, either in a wiring closet or in an open area. To conserve shelf space, it may be desirable to mount several units on top of each other. If so, this may be readily done as the 4-Port BNC Repeater steel case is strong. Connecting Ethernet Media The 4-Port BNC Repeater is specifically designed to support connections for up to four BNC segments. -

Using the illustration below as a guide, attach a mini-transceiver to the AUI port. This will enable the AUI port to be converted to another media (such as twisted pair RJ-45, or fiber, or a fifth BNC port). The 4-port BNC Repeater will supply power to the mini- transceiver per Ethernet specifications. -
