By using the EXP Series of expansion modules, you can achieve multi-media cabling support for the MOD HUB series of active hubs, compatible with baseband ARCNET networks. Whether you select coaxial cable, twisted-pair wire or glass fiber optic cable, all can operate on the same network by choosing the appropriate expansion module.

Each expansion module usually accommodates from two to four ports of the transceiver, each designed to support a specific cable technology. Transceivers are identified by a suffix designation (e.g., -FOG) which follows the EXP model number. Certain expansion modules mix two cable technologies within one module, reducing costs in some applications.

Expansion modules can be inserted into an empty slot in any hub within the MOD HUB series without regard for power consumption. Cabling technologies can be freely mixed, offering great flexibility in configuring hub, media converter and repeater applications. Expansion modules are fastened using thumb screws and can be installed in the field. Each port has an LED to indicate network activity.

Expansion modules support star and distributed star topologies (node-to-hub and hub-to-hub connections); however, bus segments, including popular AC- or DC-coupled EIA-485 segments, can also be extended using expansion modules.
