Dual-Speed Stackable Hubs User’s Guide

In the basic configuration, the 10Mbps and 100Mbps segments are separate and do not intercommunicate. An optional DFE-260S switch module (in- cluded with the DFE-2616x, DFE-2624x, DFE-2616ix, and DFE-2624ix) can be installed in any hub in the stack, making it possible to transparently bridge between the 10Mbps and 100Mbps segments. In a managed hub stack, more than one DFE-260S module can be used to provide redundancy if the two modules are both in the primary master hub segment..

Other add-in modules are 100BASE-FX connections. accepting slide-in modules.
