Description
Product Specification: KONGSBERG RHUB200-5 Communication Hub/Repeater
KONGSBERG RHUB200-5 is a modular communication hub and repeater designed for industrial automation, marine control, and network infrastructure applications. It combines signal amplification, network extension, and I/O connectivity to support reliable data transmission in harsh environments.
The RHUB200-5 functions as a hybrid device integrating both hub and repeater capabilities:
- Hub Functionality: Connects multiple devices to a shared network segment, broadcasting data to all ports.
- Repeater Functionality: Amplifies and retransmits signals to extend network coverage, particularly in long-distance or noisy environments.
- I/O Integration: Some variants may include configurable digital/analog I/O channels for sensor/actuator integration, though this depends on the specific model.
