BLACK BOX 4-Port BNC Repeater Installation and User Guide

2.3 Features and Benefits

Standards Compliant, for use in 10Mb Ethernet networks
The 4-Port BNC Repeater complies with IEEE802,3 10BASE2 and
10BASE5 standards. Users may expand network distances while retaining
the ability to add users via BNC taps.
Front-mounted ports and status LEDs
Cable connections and status LEDs are all located on the front of the unit for
easy installation and for visual monitoring of operational status over time.
Rugged chassis, withstands the strain of heavy cables
The heavy-duty unit has a metal case. The weight of the unit enables it to be
stable. Even when several bulky BNC cables are attached, it will not tip
over. Rubber feet on the bottom grip the mounting surface without
scratching it for added stability.
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. Especially for BNC networks where any faulty
connection will bring down the network, this is useful in order to be certain
proper connections have been made before restoring the BNC connection to
the Repeater unit. The manual partition function is similar to but additional
to the auto-partition function that is built in as part of the electronics of the
unit. An LED indicates when the manual partition is enabled.
When BNC networks are expanded and segments need to be
extended or changed, the 4-Port BNC Repeater product is ideal.
World-wide applications
An internal universal power supply allows the 4-Port BNC Repeater to be
used throughout the world.
