Introduction2
Class II Fast Ethernet repeater, allowing it to be linked to another Class II
Fast Ethernet stack in the same collision domain.
On the DFE-908, the 10Mbps and 100Mbps segments are separate and do
not intercommunicate. The DFE-908x contains a built-in switch, making it
possible to transparently bridge between the 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps seg-
ments.
Product Features
The list below highlights the features and specifications of the DFE-908
series hubs:
♦
Compatible with the IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T Ethernet and 802.3u
100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet industry standards for interoperability
with other Ethernet/Fast Ethernet network devices.
♦
Ethernet connections support Category 3 or better twisted-pair ca-
bles.
♦
Fast Ethernet connections support both shielded twisted pair and
Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair cables.
♦
Fast Ethernet connections support a maximum distance of 100 me-
ters from end-station to hub, and a total network diameter of 205
meters.
♦
Eight NWay RJ-45 ports for connecting stations to the network.
♦
Built-in switching function (DFE-908x only) supports bridging be-
tween 10Mbps and 100Mbps segments.
Only one DFE-908x is
needed per stack.
♦
A stack can contain various D-Link dual-speed hub models.
