Cascading with Stacked Hubs
By stacking up to five Pro-Series hubs per segment, the number of UTP ports
increases dramatically. The total number of UTP ports changes from 90 (shown
in Figure 6) to 474 (shown below). Figure 7 listed below is an example of
horizontal cascading with stacked hubs under the Ethernet 5-4-3 rule.
