The PCAN-Repeater features two CAN ports with 5 kV galvanic isolation between each other and the power supply. It supports both, CAN CC and CAN FD buses, using bit rates from 14 kbit/s up to 8 Mbit/s. With its DIN rail housing and extended temperature range support, it is suitable for applications in industrial environments.

The PCAN-Repeater requires no configuration. All CAN messages and error frames are forwarded 1:1 between both ports, enhancing the quality of the CAN signals. From the perspective of the CAN bus, the repeater is transparent, just like a cable.

The PCAN-Repeater allows the galvanic isolation of two CAN bus segments and the realization of long stub lines, even with multiple CAN nodes.

Note: Due to the CAN protocol, the maximum length of a CAN bus depends on the bit rate. Therefore, a bus cannot be extended with the PCAN-Repeater. The physical total length of the CAN bus is reduced with each built-in PCAN-Repeater according to its transit delay.
