Note that a patch panel installed between the bottom right PC and the
bottom left hub would not affect the link since it is only 50 meters
away.
Redundant Links You can implement twisted-pair link redundancy between
CoreBuilder 5000 hubs using network management. Figure 2-5
shows

It is also possible to enable redundancy between ONline modules in a
CoreBuilder 5000 hub.
