INTRODUCTION

The SuperStack® 3 Baseline Dual Speed Hub is an easy-to-use, 10/100 autosensing Class II hub (repeater). It is ideal for users who want to con- nect both Ethernet and Fast Ethernet devices (workstations and other equipment) to the same hub.

All ports on the Baseline Dual Speed Hub are half duplex, autosensing 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps. Each port senses the speed of the connected equipment and operates at the appropriate speed.

The Baseline Dual Speed Hub comes with:

!One power cord for use with the Baseline Dual Speed Hub

!Four standard height and two reduced height, self-adhesive rubber pads

!One rack mounting kit

!A card with details of online registration

Network Connections

The Baseline Dual Speed Hub has 12 or 24 shielded RJ-45, 10/100 autosensing ports on the front panel. Each port can be connected to either a 10BASE-T (Ethernet) or a 100BASE-TX (Fast Ethernet) device.

Internally, the hub has two repeater segments (10 Mbps and 100 Mbps) which are linked by a switch, allowing connected 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps devices to communicate.

You can connect a 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX hub or switch to the Base- line Dual Speed Hub.

The Baseline Dual Speed Hub is suitable for office use where it can be free standing or rack-mounted (in a wiring closet or equipment room). The hub can be powered either from the AC mains supply, or through an optional 3Com® SuperStack Advanced Redundant Power System (3C16071B). Contact your supplier for details.
