These hubs are suitable for desktop or rack mounting

The CheetaHub Power-3012B contains 12 RJ-45 ports for 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Ethernet connection (detected by auto- sensing). This dual-speed hub contains two internal repeater buses – one for 10 Mbps traffic and another for 100 Mbps traffic. Traffic passing between attached devices that operate at the same speed is isolated within the appropriate repeater bus.

An internal Ethernet switch, consisting of a 10 Mbps and a 100 Mbps switching port, is used to link the repeater buses. Only if traffic has to be passed between a 10 Mbps and a 100 Mbps device, if the destination address is not found in the address table, or broadcast traffic is sent, will data be forwarded to the other internal repeater bus.

This hub provides an ideal bridge between 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps Ethernet networks, all for a price that’s comparable to a standard Ethernet or Fast Ethernet hub. Moreover, the smart design built into the display panel provides a friendly interface that simplifies installation and network troubleshooting. If you are already familiar with basic network operations, you should be able to install this hub as described below:

1.Unpack the dual-speed CheetaHub.

2.Find a location close to the network devices you need to connect, and within easy reach of an electrical outlet.

3.Mount the hub on a desktop or any other flat surface. If you are installing multiple hubs, you can stack them on top of each other (after attaching the foot pads), or install them in a standard size EIA 19-inch rack (using the mounting brackets supplied with the hub).
