Eaton MTL AS-i Megablock wiring hub range
Crouse-Hinds series MTL AS-i Megablocks are DIN-rail mounted passive hubs for the AS-i network. They connect several AS-i devices to the network trunk cable and provide short circuit protection to the segment. The ASÐi Megablock itself does not contain an ASÐi chip or communicate over the ASÐi network, so it consumes no network communication resources (bandwidth, slave addresses, etc.). They are used to interconnect ASÐi master and slave devices that do contain ASÐi chips.
Megablocks minimize hand wiring and allow individual devices to be added to and removed from the segment without disrupting network communication. The integrated SpurGuardª provides short circuit protection for the segment.
Two models are available
- A101: 4-drop AS-i Megablock with integrated SpurGuardª short circuit protection
- A103: 8-way AS-i Megablock with integrated SpurGuardª short circuit protection
