Seven Ethernet Segments in a Single Unit
The Magnum 700X allows any mix of standard Ethernet media to reside in one
unit, up to seven different segments, to expand and reconfigure any Ethernet
network installation.

!
RPMs (Repeater Port Modules) for All Standard Ethernet Media
Multiple RPMs support all of the various IEEE 802.3 standards including,
10BASE-FL, FOIRL, 10BASE2, 10BASE5 and 10BASE-T.

Optional Bridge Port Modules (BPMs)
The Magnum 700X can be optionally configured with one or more BPMs. Each
BPM contains a miniature, self-learning local bridge module capable of filtering
and forwarding packets at full Ethernet speed. A BPM may be used to bridge-
isolate local nodes having significant local inter-node traffic, thus boosting overall
network performance. These modules are available with BNC, AUI, multi-mode
Fiber-ST, and RJ-45 media connectors.

Multiple Mixed-Media Segments Form One Repeater
When configured with two or more RPMs supporting a single- or mixed-media
application, the Magnum 700X functions as one multi-port repeater.

Front Mounted Connectors and LEDs
The installation of Magnum 700X units only requires front access for network
connections. Similarly, the status LEDs are all readily visible from the front for
ease of monitoring network operational status over time. This is especially
convenient when the Magnum 700X is mounted on a shelf or in a wiring closet.

Internal "Universal" Power Supply with Auto-ranging
An internal auto-ranging power supply with a female IEC power cord connector

supply unit is required.
