Power Switch

The power switch toggles power on and off to the unit. The switch can also be used to reset the Fast EtheRx hub.

AC Power Connector

The Fast EtheRx hubs use an auto-sensing 100VAC-240VAC, 50/60Hz internal power supply. Connect the AC power cord from the rear of the unit to an AC electrical outlet.

WARNING: For safety reasons, DO NOT attempt to open and service the unit. There are no user-serviceable components inside.

Fan Units

The Fast EtheRx hubs use two independent cooling fans for optimum air flow to safeguard the unit from unnecessary heat exposure.

100FX Fiber Module (Optional)

Kingston offers an optional plug-in module to support 100BASE-FX Fiber Optic cabling. There are two models to support both Straight-Tip (ST) and Subscriber Connect (SC) type connectors:
