Infinet i2 network accessories include Infilink 2 Repeaters. You use the Infilink Repeaters to provide an RS-485 repeating function between multiple Infinet i2 ports. The Infilink models include the Infilink 200 and 210. The Infilink 210 also provide two fiber optic ports for extending the Infinet 2 network over fiber and dropping the copper Infinet 2 interface at a remote location with EMI immunity over the fiber extension.
A 24 VDC power supply powers the -DC models and the -AC models are powered by 120 VAC line voltage. For more information, see Common Network Accessories .
All Infilink 200 models pass the standard Infinet i2 protocol through the five, provided RS-485 ports. You can use these units to extend the Infinet 2 network length or segment excess node counts. The repeaters may have UUKL listed product on any or all ports. They have also been approved by UL 864 for use as an isolation device where non-UUKL product may be isolated on one or more of the ports. UUKL listed controllers used in the smoke control application must not be placed on the Infinet 2 bus segments containing any non-UUKL devices.
For UL 864 compliance, any non-UUKL product must have a UL listing (of some type in order to reduce the risk of shock and fire) before it can be connected to an open/available repeater port (that is not used for connecting to any smoke control controllers).
