Features:

  • Supports IBM 3X & AS/400 Protocol
  • Status indicators - TD, RD, and Power
  • Allows direct connect to RJ45 twisted pair cable, no balun required
  • Twinax to fiber. Combines fibers to TP in one unit
  • Multimode or singlemode option

S.I.Tech 9036 Fiber Cluster is designed to work with IBM 3X & AS/400 systems using twinax cable & STP cable. Model 9036 Bit-Driver is a twinax to fiber optic transmitter/receiver full duplex protocol. Normal operating data rate is 1 Mbps.

This Fiber Cluster Hub product eliminates many disad- vantages of twinax, especially EMI/RFI, ground loops (electrical isolation with fiber), high attenuation (high signal loss), limiting distance between nodes of system (5000 feet max, twinax), and potential lightning damage
outdoors between buildings.

S.I.Tech Model 9036 Fiber Cluster is a stand alone Star Hub product allowing easy change from twinax to fiber, to STP: simply disconnect twinax and connect to model 9036 input/output port. Model 9036 comes with power supply and status indicators.

At remote end 9036 with RJ45 allows easy connection to 7 terminals or PCs in Star Hub configuration, eliminating a need for separate Hub.

Optical Unit Connection: Connect the optical transmission line to the T and R receptacles. Note which cable channel goes to T or R by noting cable imprint. On the other end, reverse the connections.

  1. IBM specifications: Twinax 5000 ft. (1524 m) max, local ports - 7 devices max, remote ports - 4 devices max, 5751 Cluster Controller, 5294 and 5394 controllers.
  2. If other than twinax cable is used, matching impedance transformers (Balun) are recommended. S.I.Tech 9036 Hub is designed to run without balun.
  3. Some fiber types in short distance applications may overload the receiver.
