Backbone Repeater

VDS Rail's Backbone Repeater is specifically intended to extend two Ethernet Train Backbone (ETB) links for another 100 meters. This facilitates the use of a single Ethernet Train Backbone Node for a group of vehicles where the total length of the ETB segment would exceed 100 meters.

Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet versions are available.
