1.6 GROUND TERMINAL
The marked lug or terminal should be connected to the building protec-
tive earth bus. The function of protective earth does not serve the pur-
pose of providing protection against electrical shock, but instead
enhances surge suppression on the lines for installations where suitable
bonding facilities exist. The connector type is M3 machine screw.
2. APPLICATIONS OVERVIEW
The Black Box LB52xA-KIT simplifies and provides cost effective network extension by
utilizing pre-existing twisted pair infrastructure. This enables service providers to offer
broadband or data backhaul services to businesses, governments and various institu-
tions over existing last-mile, copper infrastructure. Today, more than ever, operators
are finding the business case for leveraging their existing copper networks to be highly
attractive from an ROI and initial investment perspective over fiber roll-outs.
2.1 TYPICAL APPLICATION
The Black Box Extenders are the perfect fit for simple, cost-effective high speed Ether-
net Extension. They allow customers to take advantage of the existing copper infra-
structure to connect remote LANs across distances and at speeds previously
unthought-of. The auto-rate feature ensures the highest speed is achieved on each
connection, and the plug and play operation ensures they are up and running in sec-
onds. Add in the 4 x auto-sensing full/half duplex 10/100Base-TX Ethernet ports with
the integrated crossover switch to make setup even easier. The value of these Ether-
net Extenders can’t be beat!
• Auto-Rate Feature—The advanced auto-rate algorithm automatically deter-
mines the best possible rate for each connection and sets up each extender
without any need for user interface.
• Plug and Play—Just unpack the extenders, plug them into each end of the
extension, power them up, and they are up and running. It doesn’t get any eas-
ier!
• High Speed/Long Reach—These Ethernet Extenders provide the best combi-
nation of speed and distance seen anywhere in the industry!
