Thin coax Segment

Sometimes several Ethernet Hubs must be co- located to support a larger array of stations than can be handled by a single Ethernet Hub. Then it is useful to stack the Ethernet Hubs by joining their BNC connectors with 0.5 meter patches of thin coaxial cable. Such stacking is just a special case of thin coaxial cable connection as treated above, and the terminator rule is the same: If the stack is at the end of the incoming cable, then a 50-ohm terminator must be substituted for the continuation cable shown in the stacking diagram below.
