BLACK BOX 4-Port BNC Repeater Installation and User Guide
3.2.1

Connecting ThinNet 10BASE2 (BNC)

Connect a ThinNet coax cable to a BNC connector on the front of the unit in the
same manner as is done for any standard BNC connection. Use a "tee" connector on each
active port, and also use a "terminator" if the connection is at the end of the BNC cable.
The 4-port BNC Repeater does not have internal termination.

3.2.2 Connecting ThickNet 10BASE5 (AUI)

Using the steps below as a guide, attach a new or existing 10BASE5 ThickNet drop-
cable directly to the AUI connector on the AUI port.
1. Plug the male end of the cable into the female AUI connector on the unit.
2. Engage the AUI connector slide lock to insure maximum connectivity.
3. Connect the opposite end of the cable into a network AUI port. (This
could be a network backbone transceiver, a hub or fan-out with an AUI
backbone port, or an AUI module in a concentrator.)
The AUI port may also used for connecting to other Ethernet devices using standard
AUI cabling. In this type of situation, it is important to consider the AUI segment length to
the attached device, including any cascading.

3.2.3 Connecting Mini-transceivers to the AUI port

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.
