Key Features
ASYNC SHORT-HAUL MODEM-BPLUS
And it’s compact and easy to
install. You never have to open the
case, thanks to external DTE/DCE
and flow-control switches.
It works with your equipment’s
interfaces, too. Use either a
screw terminal or an RJ-11
connector to attach twisted-pair
cable to the short-haul modem.
And we’ve also included your
choice of serial-interface
connectors—either DB25 or
DB9—plus a DB9-to-DB25 cable
that you can use for either
interface with the included DB9to-DB25 adapter.
The short-haul modem comes
with a quick-connect 115-VAC
wallmount power supply for easy
power connections.
Typical distances over
24 AWG shielded twisted pair
are given in the chart on the next
page.

ith the Async Short-Haul
Modem-B Plus, you can get
distances of up to 4 miles
(6.4 km). Of course, maximum
distances depend on the wire
gauge of the twisted-pair cable
you’re using and the data rate of
your connection. Typical speeds
that you can achieve using
24 AWG cable are shown for
various speeds in Table 1 below.
Technically Speaking
Speedy, convenient, and versatile, this
short-haul modem’s perfect for office,
industry, or data-center applications.
See the diagrams at right.
Table 1. Speed/distances for 24-AWG cable.
Figure 1. Office application.
Figure 2. Industry application.
Figure 3. Data-center application.
NOTE: The speeds and
distances described in Table 1
are based on using 24 AWG
unshielded twisted-pair cable.
Actual distances may vary.
The short-haul modem also
features an improved powersupply jack for easy plug-in, and
built-in optical isolation for extra
safety.
