Both hubs also feature cascade connectors (two for KF-16M, one for
KF-16MS) on the rear for cascading one hub to another in a hub stack.
Up to four hubs can be cascaded in one stack. A hub stack can be treated
as a single hub which gives a total of 64 dual-speed TP ports with only
one hop count.
1.1 Features
The hub provides the following features:
• Complies with IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.3u standard for Class II
Fast Ethernet repeater
• Provides 16 fixed dual-speed TP ports. Each port can support
either the Ethernet 10Mbps connection or a Fast Ethernet
100Mbps connection with auto-sensing the connection speed.
• The hub provides one uplink jack that allows easy linking of two
hubs via straight-through UTP cable.
• The TP ports are implemented with auto partition and reconnect-
ing function to protect the network from failure caused by con-
secutive collisions from a specific port.
• The jabber function is implemented to prevent reception of
illegally long packet, which would degrade network performance.
• The internal 10M-to-100M switch in KF-16MS provides address
learning, filtering, and packet forwarding functions to bridge the
traffic between the Ethernet segment and the Fast Ethernet
segment. Only one KF-16MS is needed in a hub stack.
• Each hub provides daisy-chain connection for cascading up to 4 hubs per
stack with total of 64 TP ports. A hub stack may be composed of four
KF-16M units or three KF-16M with one KF-16MS unit.
• Two hub stacks can be connected through a UTP cable as an
expansion (up to 126 ports) is needed.
• The hub provides comprehensive LED indicators to indicate the
hub status and port status.
• Desktop and 19-inch rack mountable
