Performance:

Data Rate:  10 Mbps
Partitioning:  Enforced after 32 consecutive collisions.
Reconnect:  Occurs after 512 bits error-free transmission.

Maximum Ethernet Segment Lengths:

10BASE-T (Unshielded twisted pair)

-  100 m (328 ft)

10BASE-T (Shielded twisted pair) -  150 m (492 ft)
AUI Drop Cable

-  50 m   (164 ft)

10BASE2 ThinNet (BNC)

-  185 m (607 ft)

Network Standards:

Ethernet V1.0/2.0  IEEE 802.3:  10BASE-T, 10BASE5.
(Magnum Personal Hubs are physical layer standard 
Ethernet  products, and operate in networks independently 
of all software.)

Power Supply (External) (H80B, optional for H80P):

Power Input:   95 - 125 vac at 60 Hz for "-d" Models,

200 - 250 vac at 50 Hz for "-i"  Models, which 
have IEC power cable connector in the external 
power unit.

Power Consumption: 10 watts max

Connectors:

H80B: 8 front-mounted shielded RJ-45 (1 with up-link 

switch), 1 rear BNC with internal termination 
switch.

H80P: 8 front-mounted shielded RJ-45, 1 rear 

DTE (male AUI)

(Shielded 10BASE-T connectors accept either unshielded  or
shielded wiring lugs for standard twisted pair media wiring.)

The regular RJ-45 ports support the standard for hubs-to-users twisted pair
wiring: pin 1= , 2 = receive-, 3 = t, 6 = transmit-, other pins
not used.  The RJ-45 port with the MDI-X switch is normally the same, but
when switched it supports the standard for up-links using twisted pair wiring,
i.e., the transmit and the receive pairs are exchanged: pin 1 = t, 2 =
transmit-, 3 = , 6 = receive- , other pins not used.
