Extending a Network
Ethernet specifications limit the length of cable between hubs and PCs to 100 meters for a total
diameter of 200 meters. By adding Fast Ethernet switches between hubs, the network is expanded
by 200 Mbps with the addition of each switch.
Figure 3-3
illustrates a network of FE508 Fast
Ethernet hubs integrated with three NETGEAR Model FS508 Fast Ethernet switches.
