Introduction
This hub is an Ethernet Hub designed for the 10Base-T environment. In terms of topology, twisted-pair Ethernet 10Base-T is defined as a star topology rather than a bus. Each port on the hub connects to only one 10Base-T device via unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable.
The hub provides eight Twisted-Pair (TP) ports (RJ-45 Jacks) and one 12V DC power socket on the rear panel. On the front panel, there are ten LED indicators for displaying the port status and the hub status. The following figure illustrates the front panel and rear panel of the hub:
