Magnum H80B and H80P Personal Hubs User Guide (07/95)

2.2Product Description

The Magnum H80B and H80P Personal Hubs are nine-port workplace hubs in a very compact package. They are simple to install and use in an office or lab environment, requiring no special rack cabinets or wiring closet apparatus. Personal Hubs are standard physical layer Ethernet products and operate independently of all software.

Personal Hubs fit easily into the workplace environment. They are versatile enough to be table-top or shelf-mounted. Alternatively, a Velcro strip is included in the package so that the unit may easily be installed on a wall surface, or on the back or side of a desk or cabinet. All of the wiring connectors are in the same plane so that wiring space is neat and minimal. The external power supply unit (optional for the H80P) conveniently plugs into an AC wall receptacle or power strip.

The H80B and H80P Personal Hubs' RJ-45 ports support connection of up eight workstations or other network devices over full length 10BASE-T cable segments. Personal Hubs operate in compliance with the IEEE 802.3 specification for repeater functionality to perform signal amplification, re-timing of data packets, and regeneration of preamble bits for each packet received.

H80B, H80P specifications

GarrettCom's H80P and H80B series switches are robust networking solutions designed for demanding environments, such as industrial automation and telecommunications. Engineered to provide reliability, flexibility, and performance, these switches are ideal for applications that require durable and high-speed network connectivity.

One of the key features of the H80P and H80B models is their Layer 2 and Layer 3 capabilities, enabling seamless integration into existing networks. Both models support advanced routing protocols, including RIP, OSPF, and PIM, which enhance network efficiency and reliability. The switches also offer support for VLAN tagging, allowing for efficient traffic management and network segmentation, which enhances security and performance.

Another standout characteristic is their port configuration. The H80P model typically offers more ports than the H80B, accommodating a larger number of devices. Both models feature a mix of copper and fiber optic ports, providing versatility in connections and enabling long-distance data transmission without degradation of signal quality.

In terms of performance, the H80P and H80B support Gigabit Ethernet speeds, ensuring high bandwidth for data-rich applications. This feature is critical in industrial settings where real-time data transfer and low latency are essential. Furthermore, these switches incorporate Quality of Service (QoS) features to prioritize critical traffic and maintain optimal performance levels during peak usage times.

The construction of the H80P and H80B models is another important aspect that sets them apart. They are designed to withstand harsh environments, with rugged enclosures that provide protection against dust, moisture, and extreme temperatures. This durability makes them suitable for deployment in outdoor installations and factory floors, where operating conditions can be challenging.

Security is a significant aspect of network management, and GarrettCom addresses this need by integrating various security features into the H80P and H80B switches. They support authentication protocols such as RADIUS and TACACS+, ensuring that only authorized users can access the network. Additionally, features like port security and DHCP snooping further enhance protection against potential threats.

In conclusion, GarrettCom's H80P and H80B switches combine advanced features, robust technology, and specialized characteristics to offer reliable network solutions. Their versatility, performance, and durability make them an excellent choice for organizations seeking to improve their industrial networking infrastructure while ensuring security and efficiency.
