NOTE

A stack of Express Stackable Hubs can contain a maximum of six hubs.

NOTE

If you include Intel Express 100BASE-TX and 100BASE-T4 Stackable Hubs in the same stack, make sure you attach only the appropriate devices (TX or T4) to each type of hub.

Rear panel

The rear panel of the Express Stackable Hub provides an AC power receptacle, a redundant power connector (not supported), and two cascade cable connectors.

Power receptacle

The AC power receptacle is provided for connecting to an AC power outlet. The Express Stackable Hub accepts between 100 and 240V AC.

Cascade connectors

The Cascade Down and Cascade Up connectors and an Intel cascade cable allow you to stack and link multiple Express Stackable Hubs to increase the size of a particular workgroup in your network. The cascade cable connects to the Cascade Down connector on the top hub and the Cascade Up connector on the hub below it.
