*Use a straight cable when connecting the switch's cascade port to the cascade port of another switch or hub (refer to the other switch or hub's manual to check the cascade port).

The following restrictions apply when using a repeater hub or dual speed hub in a network. Failure to observe these may result in network connection failure.

Number of levels for cascade connection 100BASE-TX - - - Up to two levels 10BASE-T - - - - - Up to four levels

Cable length between this product and node (PC, etc.) for cascade connection 100BASE-TX - - - 205 m or less

10BASE-T - - - - - 500 m or less

Use a switch to add a hub or extend the distance regardless of the above restrictions.

e.g. When four 10BASE-T repeater hubs are stacked in a cascade configuration, using a switch allows you to connect another four hubs.
