2.3 Features and Benefits
Expandable Design
When network needs grow, several Stackable Personal Hubs can be easily
stacked to form a single logical repeater of up to forty RJ-45 ports.
Low cost, stand-alone 10BASE-T connectivity
Operating in a stand-alone environment as self-sufficient devices,
Stackable Personal Hubs offer a very low cost method of providing small
workgroups access to a variety of Ethernet networking services such as file
sharing, E-Mail, printer sharing, and other computer information.
Interconnect to an Existing Ethernet Network
Stackable Personal Hubs provide a manual Up-Link switch that allows one
RJ-45 port to connect into an existing Ethernet environment (such as the
central hub for the building or area) via 10BASE-T wiring.
Inter-operable with other Ethernet Devices
Stackable Personal Hubs are completely inter-operable with other Ethernet-
compliant network devices. Each is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3
specifications for 10 Mbps CSMA/CD operation, and can be integrated within
any standard Ethernet network and operate with standard software.
Installation Versatility
Stackable Personal Hubs are easy to install in most any office or lab location.
The tiny package is very unobtrusive and may even be Velcro mounted.
LEDs Simplify Network Installation and Maintenance
Stackable Personal Hubs are equipped with a full complement of LEDs to
provide status about basic network activity. LINK LEDs for each port offer a
simple way to verify operational connections of each 10BASE-T segment.
High Quality
Stackable Personal Hubs have a rugged steel case and are compliant with rigid
CE emission standards, making them suitable for commercial and home
offices. Per-port partitioning and re-connection avoids most downtime.
