The following restrictions apply to the cable type and length.
10BASE-T network
100BASE-TX network
* Use a straight cable when connecting the switch's cascade port to the cascade port of another
switch or hub (refer to the other switch or hub's manual to check the cascade port).
The following restrictions apply when using a repeater hub or dual speed hub in a network. Failure
to observe these may result in network connection failure.
• Number of levels for cascade connection
100BASE-TX - - - Up to two levels
10BASE-T - - - - - Up to four levels
• Cable length between this product and node (PC, etc.) for cascade connection
100BASE-TX - - - 205 m or less
10BASE-T - - - - - 500 m or less
Use a switch to add a hub or extend the distance regardless of the above restrictions.
e.g. When four 10BASE-T repeater hubs are stacked in a cascade configuration, using a switch
allows you to connect another four hubs.
