The OmniMux 400XL is a fourth generation IBM 5250 compatible active fiber optic device.
The OmniMux 400XL may be configured as either a multiplexer, demultiplexer, demultiplexer
star, or as a star. Featuring a fiber optic link and eight fiber optic ports, the OmniMux 400XL
provides the highest integration of fiber optic connectivity in the AS400 / Systems 3x industry.
Two models offer a selection of fiber type:
2800-MM Multimode fiber optics

Data Reliability
The OmniMux 400XL is capable of reliably locking and maintaining synchronization with data
rate variations of -2% to +4%. It features a Digital Phase Locking Architecture; this
architecture facilitates reliable operation with a high noise immunity. It allows the OmniMux
400XL to reliably synchronize and lock to legitimate data frames and also to discriminate
and ignore any open, shorted or noisy inputs (induced or crosstalk). This makes the OmniMux
400XL a reliable solution in environmen ts where high availability, stability, reliability,
and low maintenance are important.
