Connection Guidelines
You can connect the Intel Express 130T Standalone Hub to various
PCs, switches, routers, servers, and print servers running at either
10Mbps or 100Mbps. Each port on the Express 130T Standalone Hub
automatically matches the highest possible speed of an attached device.
Note For guidelines on connecting to another hub, see “Connecting
to Hubs and Switches” on page 6.
Connecting to 100Base-TX devices
• Use Category 5 unshielded twisted pair (CAT 5 UTP) cable.
• Always limit the cable length between the hub and any connected
PC, server, switch, or print server to 100 meters (328 feet). The
IEEE specification requires this distance.
• See “Connecting to a 100Mbps hub” on page 6 for information on
connecting to 100Mbps hubs.
• Use ports 1-8.
Connecting to 10Base-T devices
• Use Category 3, 4, or 5 unshielded twisted pair (CAT 3, 4, or 5
UTP) cable.
• Always limit the cable length between the hub and any connected
device to 100 meters (328 feet). The IEEE specification requires
this distance.
• See “Connecting to an existing 10Mbps network” on page 7 for
information on connecting the Express 130T Standalone Hub to a
10Mbps network segment.
• Use ports 1-8.
