Overview
The MODHUB‑48E from Contemporary Controls is part of the MODHUB series of modular active ARCNET hubs, designed for large-scale industrial networks. Unlike smaller models such as the MODHUB‑16E, the 48E is a powered card cage chassis capable of hosting multiple expansion modules, scaling up to 48 ARCNET ports. It supports ARCNET baseband at 2.5 Mbps and allows mixed media connections, including coaxial, twisted pair, and fiber optic cabling.
This hub is ideal for demanding industrial automation applications where high port density, reliability, and flexible cabling are essential.
