Side Panel RJ-45 Connectors

Accton’s CheetaHub Power-3004E features 4 10BASE-T/ 100BASE-TX ports with RJ-45 connectors located on the side panel of the hub. Port 1-4 are MDI-X, with a built-in wiring crossover that allows for the use of straight-through twisted- pair cable for connections to devices without built-in crossover ports (i.e., workstations, printers, etc.).

Port 4 on this hub doubles as a crossover port and a straight- through Uplink (daisy-chain) port. The MDI Uplink port makes it convenient to connect straight-through cable from the hub to a crossover port on another device.

Mount the Hub

The CheetaHub Power-3004E with its flexible stand can be mounted on any flat or vertical

surface.

To mount the hub on a flat surface:

1 Slide the stand onto the hub base

(to stand upright) or back (to lay flat).

2 Place the hub on any convenient

flat surface, such as a desktop or nearby shelf.

To mount the hub on a vertical surface:

1 First secure the stand to the desired location, such as a wall or side of a desk. You may use two small screws, Velcro™ strips, or any other technique.

2With the stand secured, slide the hub’s back onto the stand.

Connect PCs to the Hub

Connect each PC to an RJ-45 port

on the hub with a straight-through twisted-pair cable, maximum 100 meters (328 ft.). The CheetaHub Power-3004E

will support up to 4 PCs.

Note that if you are using port 4, be sure not to use the Uplink port.
