THE 10BASE-T MRXI
 
The MRXI-22 and MRXI-24 are functionally identical. The MRXI-22 
provides twelve RJ-45 connectors and the MRXI-24 provides twenty-four 
RJ-45 connectors for network ports. Additional network connections are 
made through the use of front panel EPIM modules (one module for the 
MRXI-22, two modules for the MRXI-24). A variety of EPIMs are 
available permitting the expansion of an Ethernet/802.3 network via:
Unshielded Twisted Pair Cable from the 10BASE-T Twisted Pair 
Interface Module (EPIM-T).
Fiber Optic Cable, with SMA or ST connectors, from the Fiber Optic 
Interface Modules (EPIM-F1, EPIM-F2 or EPIM-F3).
Thin-Net Cable from the Coaxial Interface Module (EPIM-C).
AUI Cable from the AUI Interface Module (EPIM-A or 
EPIM-X).
