The MPR-50 Multi-Port Router provides ANSI/CEA-709.1 compliant routing among five channels: four TP/FT-10 Free Topology Twisted Pair (ANSI/CEA-709.3) channels and one LonMark® standard TP/XF-1250 channel. Each of the TP/FT-10 channel connections is fully compatible with link powered channels. The MPR-50 can be used to connect two, three, or four TP/FT-10 channels together, or it can be used to connect these TP/FT-10 channels to a high speed TP/XF-1250 backbone. Used in small- and large-scale LonWorks® control network installations, the MPR-50 substantially reduces the installation time and cost any time multiple channels are used.
