Congratulations on the purchase of your Kingston Fast EtheRx Stackable 10/100TX Rack-Mountable Dual Speed hub. The KND2415TX is a full 19” rack-mount unit. The Fast EtheRx Stackable 10/100TX Dual-Speed hub conforms to IEEE802.3u 100BASE-TX, IEEE802.3i 10BASE-T, and IEEE802.3 CSMA/CD standards. A maximum of four KND2415TX units can be stacked together.

IMPORTANT: The KND2415TX can only be stacked with other KND2415TX units. Stacking the unit with any other model hub may cause damage to the units.

For ease of installation, the Fast EtheRx Stackable Dual Speed hub offers twenty-four (24) UTP ports that auto-negotiate 10/100Mbps operation and an uplink port that allows the last UTP port on the hub to support both crossover and straight-through cabling. Ideal for inter-connecting 10BASE-T Ethernet networks with 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet networks, the Fast EtheRx Dual-speed hubs can also be used as simple stand-alone 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX repeaters. For easy trouble-shooting, the front panel includes a variety of diagnostic LEDs such as Power, Collision for 10Mbps and 100Mbps, 100TX, Link, and Activity status.
