Achieve distances of
up to 1.2 miles (1.9 km)
over fiber.

Compatible with most
popular network types,
including FOIRL and
10BASE-FL.

Autopartitioning.

BNC Repeaters feature
an internal terminator
so no “T” connector is
needed.

RJ-45 Repeaters (for
UTP segments) detect
and correct reversed
polarity.

Autosensing power
supply can be used
worldwide.

W

orkGroup Repeaters add
distance to your Ethernet

LAN. For example, you can add

1.2 miles (1.9 km) between coax or
twisted-pair segments by using
two repeaters with fiberoptic
connectors and fiber cable.

And you can connect any two
Ethernet segments: IEEE 802.3,
10BASE5, 10BASE2, 10BASE-T,
FOIRL, and 10BASE-FL.

An internal autosensing power
supply automatically adjusts to
both domestic and international
power sources.

BNC ports are equipped with
an internal terminator so you don’t
need to supply a separate “T”
connector.

RJ-45 (UTP) ports have an
uplink switch so no crossover
cable is needed.

These repeaters not only boost the distance of your

Ethernet network, they also join mismatched media.

Key Features

WORKGROUP REPEATERS

LEDs keep you up to date on
segment status and help you
troubleshoot. WorkGroup
Repeaters are equipped with
diagnostic LEDs to make
troubleshooting easy. Status LEDs
are on the front panel for easy
viewing. Port-specific LEDs are on
the rear so you can view LINK
and ACTIVITY right where the
connections are.

An autopartitioning feature
isolates link failures and keeps
them from affecting the rest of the
network. When the repeater
detects a problem, it shuts down
the failed link. It reactivates the
connection as soon as the
problem is fixed.

To keep your data safe, the
repeaters also provide 100%
collision detection, data retiming,
and automatic preamble
regeneration.

Because there are no
hardware or software changes to
make, installation takes just
minutes, too. Just plug in the
segment connectors, and you’re
ready to go.

Note: WorkGroup Repeaters
are no longer available with the
older SMA connectors. If you
require SMA connections,
contact Technical Support.

Recognize any of these
situations?

• You wait more than 30
minutes to get through to a
vendor’s tech support.

• The so-called “tech” can’t
help you or gives you the
wrong answer.

• You don’t have a purchase
order number and the tech
refuses to help you.

• It’s 9 p. m. and you need help,
but your vendor’s tech
support line is closed.

According to a survey by Data
Communications magazine, 90%
of network managers surveyed
say that getting the technical

support they need is extremely
important when choosing a
vendor. But even though network
managers pay anywhere from 10
to 20% of their overall purchase
price for a basic service and
support contract, the technical
support and service they receive
falls far short of their
expectations—and certainly isn’t

worth what they paid.

At Black Box, we guarantee
the best value and the best
support. You can even consult our
Technical Support Experts before
you buy if you need help selecting
just the right component for your
application.

Don’t waste time and
money—call Black Box today.
