Overview

The SuperSmart (EtherHub-16se) hub is a powerful and innovative LAN network enhancement product. This hub supports a multi-segment bus architecture that enhances traffic flow and network bandwidth utilization. It offers the network manager a wide range of flexible configuration options, allowing you to effectively increase your network’s bandwidth.

The SuperSmart hub can be used in a stand-alone configuration to form a simple LAN networking 2 to 16 computers using the RJ-45 ports. Further network expansion can be achieved using the trunk port connection (optional ALT PORT for BNC, AUI or fiber-optic interface), or the RJ-45 daisy-chain port. Workstations are connected to the SuperSmart station ports using twisted-pair cable.

SuperSmart is a 16-port intelligent 10BASE-T hub. It includes -

∙16 RJ-45 station ports for networking computers to the network using twisted-pair cable

∙1 optional port for installing an AUI, BNC or fiber-optic module, which permits connection to thick or thin Ethernet or 10BASE-F cable

∙2 FlexBus™ 1500 ports for connecting to compatible hubs via a FlexBus 1500 cable

∙RJ-45 port 16 which can be converted to a daisy-chain port () using the daisy-chain switch

∙Comprehensive LED indicators on the front panel to provide easy and quick configuration and monitoring of the unit

Alternative Interface Module -

∙BNC (EH1551), default module preinstalled in EH2051

∙AUI (EH1552)

∙Fiber Optic (EH1553)
