Stackable Personal Hubs

Installation and User Guide (04/01)

2.2Product Description

The Stackable Personal Hub is an eight-port + workplace hub in a very compact package. It is simple to install and use in an office or lab environment, requiring no special rack cabinets or wiring closet apparatus. Up to five Stackable Personal Hubs may be stacked to form a single logical repeater. Personal Hubs are standard physical layer Ethernet products and operate independently of all software.

ST80 Personal Hubs are well suited for small- to-medium-size office or lab environments (up to eight users without stacking) that need an independent Ethernet network. They can operate as self-sufficient units to provide 10BASE-T Ethernet connectivity for local users and devices. Small independent networks built using Stackable Personal Hubs are easily expanded by stacking additional ST80s via the IRB connectors. The AUI port provides backbone or other connectivity if required. (The ST80-B and ST80-F models are also equipped with a BNC or a Fiber-ST connector for convenient media connections.)

Stackable Personal Hubs provide a simple and inexpensive solution for networking a multi-system office using 10BASE-T twisted pair cabling. They can expand an existing single-network-port outlet to provide up to seven additional RJ-45 ports in the immediate office or lab area. Once installed, a Stackable Personal Hub is easily expanded by stacking additional units to support larger numbers of users.

The Magnum ST80s’ small size makes them very useful for demonstration situations in conference rooms and in exhibitions where a temporary network or network expansion is needed. They are handy as a piece of test equipment that can be easily inserted into a network to provide a test port, and then removed after the testing is done. Stackable Personal Hubs take up minimal space, use minimal power, and are rugged enough to be carried in a coat pocket for possible emergencies.
