The TwinStar III is a 5250 active star-wiring hub that provides centralized connections for IBM Twinax devices via twisted pair wiring and removes the cabling constraints of traditional Twinax cabling. The TwinStar III offers the benefits of being able to move Twinax equipment around a company without having the risk of disrupting other users. As a central connection point in the cabling network, it now becomes easier to keep track of connections and to troubleshoot problems. The TwinStar III's repeater technology also allows it to work with any IBM Twinax equipment for total peace of mind.
