C. Hub Ring Out (RJ45) to distant hub Ring In (RJ45)
Application C shows the Ring Out of one hub connected to the Ring In of
another hub via a pair of OmniHawk™ converters. Note that the cable from
the second OmniHawk™ to the Ring In is a crossed cable.
D. Distant Lobe Extension
Application D shows a distant hub in lobe extension via a pair of OmniHawk™
converters. In this configuration a standard CAT-5 cable connects the ex-
tended hub to the first OmniHawk™, fiber optic cables connect the two
converters, and another standard CAT-5 patch cable connects the second
OmniHawk™ to the target hub.
E. Other Applications
The above examples show the most common applications of the
OmniHawk™. Your network may require an application not listed here. The
configuration you need will be supported by the OmniHawk™ as long as
the correct cable is used. The fiber optic cables will always be the same.
The table below will guide you in selecting the proper copper cables, media
filters, and connector adapters.
