Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of Edimax’s 18-port rackmount Ethernet 10Base-T
hub - ER-5398S. Designed to meet small and large 10Base-T network requirements,
ER-5398S is built with 16 RJ-45 ports and two extra auto-detect AUI /BNC coaxial
ports for cascading other 10Base-T hubs, mixing with thin or thick coaxial segments,
or connecting to fiber backbone through fiber transceivers.
ER-5398S is rackmount size, 1U (1.75 inches) height, it can be installed on an
industry standard 19 inches rack.
An uplink port located right next to the 16th RJ-45 port allows easy connection to
other hubs or switches using regular straight-through cables as illustrated in Figure
1-2.
To accommodate various cabling requirements, ER-5398S can be easily integrated
with other 10Base-T hubs in a central 19-inch wiring rack or be placed separately as
stand-alone or distributed workgroup wiring center.
