NXC-MPE Master Port Expander Card
The NXC-MPE Master Port Expander Card shares the features and functionality of the NXC-ME,
but with an RJ-11 SPE (Server Port Expander) connector instead of a 4-pin AXlink connector. The
SPE port allows you to use the NXC-MPE in conjunction with an AXB-SPE (Server Port
Expander) to control up to 12 additional AXlink bus lines of up to 3,000 feet (914.4 meters) in
distance each.
