Interface Options
RJ-45 connectors for Category 5 UTP (2-pair wire) and 100-ohm STP (2-pair wire) 100BASE-TX Ethernet interface
Fiber optic SC connectors for 100BASE-FX Ethernet interface with installed 100BASE-FX media adapter
Optional Equipment
The Express hub offers two slots for additional modules that expand the dimensions of your network. The Express hub is shipped with filler panels installed in the media adapter and expansion slots. The filler panels can be easily removed to accommodate optional 100BASE-T modules.
This section provides a brief description of the optional modules that are available for installation in these slots.
NOTE
When a media adapter is installed in the media adapter slot, it automatically disables 100BASE-TX port 1 and the Port 1 Status LED on the hub. In this case, the 100BASE-T port on the installed media adapter provides the connectivity for port 1 and the Media Adapter LED provides port status for the media adapter port.
Media Adapters
The 100BASE-T Media Adapters fit into the media adapter slot and provide a connection to other 100BASE-T equipment in your network. A 100BASE-FX Media Adapter is available for installation into the media adapter slot.
The 100BASE-FX Media Adapter provides a standard SC connector for 62.5/125 µm multimode fiber optic cable. The maximum distance between the port and the attached device is 160 meters (including all patch cables, panels, and connectors) when only one fiber optic cable is used in the entire stack or segment.
For instructions on how to install a media adapter in the hub, refer to the documentation that shipped with your media adapter.
