AS400/3X 5250 and 5250 Express Star/Repeater

The OmniStar 400 is an IBM 5250 and 5250 Express compatible star repeater that replaces traditional twinax daisy chains and provides star configuration on twisted pair wiring. It supports distances of 3,000 feet on each twisted pair and 5,000 feet on twinax for a total of 8,000 feet from the host. For cases that require additional distance, the OmniStar supports cascading of up to 4 stars.

AS400/3X 5250 and 5250 Express Multiplexer

The OmniMux 400 is an IBM compatible multiplexer that provides part or full local or remote 5250 and 5250 Express twinax controller connectivity to a distant location. It replaces up to eight AS/400 twinax cables with a single link. This link may be a twinax, twisted pair or a multi-mode or single-mode fiber pair. Optionally, the OmniMux can eliminate the twinax distribution box ("brick") and provide a direct single cable connection to the host controller, replacing all host controller twinax with a single DB25 cable. The OmniMux supports up to 56 addresses per link.

AS400/3X 5250 Fiber Converter and Repeater

The OmniRepeater 400FTD is an AS/400 5250 and 5250 Express data repeater and fiber converter. It converts between twinax or UTP and fiber and provides connectivity for one 5250 host port. It supports multi-mode fiber for distances up to 15,000 feet and single-mode fiber for up to 30,000 feet. It supports twinax for distances up to 5,000 feet and unshielded twisted pair (UTP) for up to 3,000 feet. It can be utilitized in fiber backbones or in fiber-to-the-desk applications.
