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.

Call us 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.
