Introduction2
In the basic configuration, 10Mbps and 100Mbps segments are separate and
do not intercommunicate. An optional DFE-260S switching module (in-
cluded with the DFE-916x) can be installed in any hub in the stack, making
it possible to transparently bridge between 10Mbps and 100Mbps segments.
In a managed hub stack, more than one DFE-260S module can be used to
provide automatic redundancy.
Other add-in modules are also available, providing switched 100BASE-TX
or switched 100BASE-FX connections. DFE-916x and DFE-916 hubs have
one slot each for accepting slide-in modules.
Product Features
The list below highlights the features and specifications of DFE-916 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.
♦ Sixteen NWay ports per hub for connecting stations to the network.
♦ An optional slide-in switching module allows bridging between
10Mbps and 100Mbps segments. Only one switching module is
needed per stack, but managed hub stacks can make use of addi-
tional switching modules for redundancy.
