Hub to End-Station Connection
After installing the Dual-Speed Hub, it can support up to 16 (or 24) end-
station connections. Fast Ethernet connections require a Category 5 UTP/
STP cable. The cable can be up to 100 meters long.
Each Ethernet connection requires a Category 3 or better UTP cable. In order
to make an easier transition to 100Mbps for all nodes, we recommend you
install Category 5 cable for all connections.
You can connect any combination of PCs, servers, and other network devices
to the twisted-pair ports. Please use straight-through twisted-pair cables, dont
use crossover cables. The following figure illustrates the pin assignments for a
straight-through cable:
