Fast Ethernet Hubs

Fast Ethernet networking quite simply means faster networking—quicker exchange of data between PCs and swift downloading from the network. OfficeConnect delivers these benefits and more with a new range of Fast Ethernet products designed specifically for the small office. At last, Fast Ethernet is affordable for all users. Each product features plug-and-play installation and requires no configura- tion. An easy-to-read, front-panel display includes diagnostic LEDs

for monitoring network activity.

Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) Configuration Rules

All OfficeConnect Fast Ethernet hubs are Class II. You can directly connect two Class II Fast Ethernet hubs (Class I hubs cannot be directly connected to other

Fast Ethernet hubs). The total length of cable (A+B+C below) between two workstations and a nonrepeater piece of equipment (such as a switch), must not exceed 205 m (672 ft). Each cable (A, B, or C) must not exceed 100 m (328 ft).

3Com recommends that Category 5 cables be used and that the cable

(B)between the Fast Ethernet hubs is not longer than 5 m (16.4 ft). This allows the maximum hub-to-work- station cable length (A or C) of 100 m (328 ft) to be used, as shown in the example.
