Stackable Personal Hubs | Installation and User Guide (04/01) |
The AUI port may also used for connecting to other Ethernet devices using standard AUI cabling. In this type of situation, it is important to consider the AUI segment length to the attached device, including any cascading.
The maximum transmission distance between a backbone transceiver and the AUI port of the ST80 will vary. According to Ethernet standards, when an AUI cable is used to connect the ST80 directly to a backbone transceiver, the maximum AUI segment length of 50m (165 ft.) is allowed. If the ST80 is connected to a transceiver that has been cascaded from another transceiver, the maximum AUI segment length is reduced. See the following note.
Important Note: The maximum transmission distance is decreased by 6m (20 ft.) for every additional level of network transceiver device "dropped" or "cascaded" from the original backbone transceiver tap.
The AUI connector of the Stackable Personal Hub supports standard IEEE signals, which are summarized in Table 3.5
