Omnitron Systems FlexPoint 10T/2

The FlexPoint 10T/2 is a member of the modular FlexPoint converter product family. The FlexPoint product family supports the IEEE 802.3 standard and provides an extensive range of connectivity options across different media.The FlexPoint 10T/2 is a 10Base-T to 10Base-2 converter that converts between twisted pair (UTP) and coax LANs and joins their collision domains. The FlexPoint 10T/2 facilitates the connection of a coax segment to a 10Base-T hub. When using a pair of FlexPoint 10T/2 converters back to back, they connect between two 10Base-T hubs via coax. On the UTP side, the FlexPoint 10T/2 uses a modular EIA/ TIA 568 RJ45 connector that supports categories 3, 4 or 5 wiring and connects to distances up to 100 m (328 ft.). The FlexPoint 10T/2 detects and corrects wiring polarity reversals, and features a crossover switch that facilitates a straight-through cable connection to a workstation or a hub and eliminates the need for a crossed cable. On the coax side, the FlexPoint 10T/2 utilizes a BNC connector and supports a 50 ohm cable and distances of up to 185 m (606 ft.). Per IEEE 802.3 standard, up to 30 workstations can be attached to the coax segment. The FlexPoint 10T/2 features a convenient and cost-effective cable termination via a termination switch and a built-in termination element.
