A device that implements Twisted-pair Ethernet compatible networks following IEEE
802.3 10Mbps CSMA/CD. These hubs provide all the functions necessary to support the
Ethernet networks. By incorporating Shielded Twisted Pair connectors design, The hub not
only provides the ultimate reliability to the network transmission but also provides the
ultimate protection to the human body from radial exposure. Cabling requirement is not
restricted to shielded twisted pair cable, one can use unshielded twisted pair cable if so
desire.

By
designing in the extra up-link port, one can easily cascade hubs together without using
any special cables. By providing extra BNC or AUI port, one can conveniently use the hub
as a BNC or AUI or mixed repeater without using external transceivers. Another prominent
feature of the hub is the numerous indicators: 2 LEDs for each twisted-pair port and
BNC/AUI report network activity and facilitate problem diagnosis. Other indicators include
Power, Collision and Jabber. |
