Connecting to a Fast Ethernet Hub

Since the KF-8D is designed to comply with IEEE 802.3u Class II repeater specifications, it can support one connection to another 100BASE-TX Class II hub. The connection rules are:

1.The other hub which is connected to KF-8D must comply with IEEE 802.3u Class II repeater specifications.

2.No more than two hubs can be cascaded in the network.

The following figure illustrates the maximum Fast Ethernet network expansion using two KF-8D hubs:
