Overview
CentreCOM™ Micro Repeaters are two-port media converters designed for
Ethernet coax and Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) network segments. The
product family includes a series with internal power supplies (AT-MR12x as
illustrated in Figure 1) and with external power supplies (AT-MR11x).
CentreCOM Micro Repeaters support full length segments on either side, fully
repeated transmission and the maximum number of nodes specified by the
IEEE. Repeating packets results in a higher performance network by
regenerating preamble, retiming the data packets and extending collision
fragments to ensure collision enforcement by all nodes.

The AT-MR111T and AT-MR121T allow for connection of a UTP 10Base-T
Ethernet segment to a thick (10Base5) segment, and the AT-MR112T and
AT-MR122T allow for connection of a UTP 10Base-T Ethernet segment to a
thin (l0Base2) coaxial segment. Table 1 summarizes the product line.
