As the number of clients increase, you can add another hub to increase port
density. Using a cascade cable. you can connect the 16-port hub with a 24-
port hub to create a hub stack. This hub stack now acts as a single hub with
40 ports. You can stack up to five hubs totalling 120 ports (five 24-port
hubs).
