Intel 210T manual Can I daisy-chain a 100Mbps hub to the 220T hub with UTP cabling?

Can I daisy-chain a 100Mbps hub to the 220T hub with UTP cabling?

No. Only hubs operating at 10Mbps can be daisy-chained to the 220T. You must use an Intel Cascade Cable to connect Intel hubs operating at 100Mbps.

Can I daisy-chain 210T hubs together with UTP cabling?

Only if the hubs are operating at 10Mbps. You must use an Intel Cascade Cable to connect hubs at 100Mbps. Also, daisy-chained hubs cannot be managed as a single stack.

I have a 210T hub at 10Mbps and another 210T at 100Mbps connected with an Intel Cascade Cable. Can they talk to each other?

No. All 210T hubs operating at 100Mbps are in one segment (or collision domain) and all 210T hubs at 10Mbps are in a separate segment. For more information, see page 10.

Why would I stack hubs operating at 10Mbps to hubs at 100Mbps?

By putting hubs running at 10Mbps and 100Mbps in the same stack, you need only one Management Module to control the entire stack. This simplifies the network management configuration. Remember to connect the hubs with an Intel Cascade Cable, not UTP cabling.
