- Can be used for transmitting signals between several media (ports). Hubs are plug and play devices that don't need to be configured by the user.
- The use of hubs makes it possible to create the two following topologies: Star topology and Tree topology.
- Create fibre optic linear bus topologies, for devices with a twisted pair cable Ethernet connection.
- Interface devices with a twisted pair cable Ethernet connection with a fibre optic cable.
- Provide fibre optic connections for transmission in areas subject to interference (high levels of electromagnetic interference) and for long distance communications.
- Used to increase the limits of architectures based on hubs or transceivers, by separating collision domains.
- Enable redundant architectures to be created on twisted pair copper ring or optical fibre.
- Can also be managed remotely via SNMP or HTTP protocols for monitoring and diagnostic purposes.

- Link loss alert.
- Modbus protocol support.
- Enhanced high speed recovery of redundant ring networks.
- Enhanced security.
- Simple but powerful web management interface for all configuration functions.
- Harsh chemical environment options ensure product function and viability.

- 12 discrete inputs.
- 6 relay outputs.
- 2 transistor outputs with positive logic (source).
- A 24 VDC power supply terminal block (Volt Direct Current).
