3.2.6 DECrepeater 90FA
The DECrepeater 90FA module is a three-port repeater that provides low-cost
connections to 10BaseFL /FOIRL fiber using ST-type fiber optic connectors,
ThinWire, and an AUI connector.
Used as a standalone unit, it provides a fiber optic link between two Ethernet LANs.
It can also connect a standard Ethernet backbone and ThinWire segment. In a stack
or the DEChub 90 or DEChub 900 MultiSwitch backplanes, the DECrepeater 90FA
module supports point-to-point connection through fiber optic cable. The AUI port
provides a low-cost thick wire backbone for hub-based applications.
It also includes a ThinWire 10Base2 port connector (ThinWire BNC) on the side
panel (available when installed in the stacking unit or standalone). Figure 3–6 shows
the DECrepeater 90FA network module.
