Simple Network Diagnosis and Maintenance with LEDs

Stackable MiniHubs are equipped with a full complement of LEDs to
show the status of basic network activity. LINK LEDs for each port offer

a very simple way to verify operational connections for each 10BASE-T

segment.

Low-Cost Standalone 10BASE-T Connectivity

Operating your Stackable MiniHub in a standalone environment as a self-
sufficient device is a very low-cost method of providing small workgroups
access to a variety of Ethernet networking services such as file sharing,
email, printer sharing, and other computer information.

High-Quality Construction

Stackable MiniHubs have rugged steel enclosures and are compliant with
rigid Class B emission standards, making them suitable for commercial
and home offices.
