Applications
The Micom Marathon 2K Plus belongs to Micom Systems' line of WAN integration multiplexors, which were widely deployed in the 1980s and early 1990s for consolidating asynchronous terminal and serial device traffic across shared leased-line or dial-up WAN circuits. Integration multiplexors of this type allowed organizations to reduce the number of dedicated WAN circuits required by combining traffic from multiple terminals, printers, and other RS-232 devices onto a single aggregate link — a cost-saving measure critical in the era before widespread LAN-to-WAN routing. The Marathon 2K Plus was commonly used in corporate data centers, branch offices, and university computing environments connecting IBM-compatible terminals, character-cell displays, and serial peripherals to mainframe or minicomputer hosts. The RS-232/DB-25 serial interface standard it uses was the dominant low-speed data interface of that era. Today, units like this are sought by collectors of vintage networking hardware and by operators maintaining legacy serial device infrastructures that have not yet migrated to modern IP-based connectivity.
This Micom Marathon 2K Plus Integration Multiplexor (model 5002B/BABT-5, part no. 150-2363-003 Rev G) is in used condition. It was pulled from a working environment and has been visually inspected. The chassis shows typical light wear consistent with normal office or equipment-room use. The front panel, vents, and labeling are intact and legible. The rear panel ports and connectors appear complete and undamaged. Eight serial adapters are included. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
