5/8 RJ-45 STP ports to connect with PC node, one RJ-45
STP port for easy hub-to-hub connection, one BNC Port
(EH-801) and one power port.
Product Characteristics
Each workstation connects to the EH-501/EH-801 hub in a
star configuration, which means each workstation connects
only to the central concentrator.
To attach a workstation to the concentrator, you can use
your own STP/UTP cable or the existing STP/UTP cable
installed in the building that is wired through the
telephone punch-down block to wire directly from the
workstation to the EH-501/EH-801 Hub.
The network cable that runs from the EH-501/EH-801 Hub
to the network station is called a cable segment. The
maximum number of cable segments between any two
stations is Five (5 segments) . The maximum distance for a
cable segment is 328 feet (100 meters).
The IEEE 802.3 standard-compliant EH-501/EH-801 Hub
supports both 10Base-2 (EH-801) and 10Base-T Ethernet
environments. The following table compares the two:
