The LH-DH/11 Local/Distant Host Controller is a DMA UNIBUS IMP interface produced by ACC to allow a UNIBUS machine to connect to an ARPANET IMP.

It consists of a 10-1/2" rack mounting box holding a pair of wire-wraped boards (one for packet input, and one for output), holding a number of SSI TTL integrated circuits; there is also an internal power supply. Level converters allow use as either a Local Host or Distant Host interface; BC11A cables connect it to the rest of the system.
