(Optional) Connecting multiple hubs
Connecting hubs running at 100 Mbps to hubs running at 10 Mbps
Use an Intel Cascade Cable to connect the hubs. Hubs running at 100 Mbps can talk to each other, and hubs running at 10 Mbps can talk to each other. However, hubs running at 100 Mbps can’t talk to hubs running at 10 Mbps without bridging equipment. See pages

Hub 2 (100 Mbps)
Hub 3 (10 Mbps)
Hub 4 (10 Mbps)
Hubs 1 and 2 are in one collision domain and share 100 Mbps of bandwidth.
Hubs 3 and 4 are in a separate collision domain from 1 and 2 and share 10 Mbps of bandwidth.
The optional bridging equipment allows hubs 1 and 2 to talk to hubs 3 and 4.
Connect hubs with an Intel Cascade Cable (product code EE110CC)
Connecting hubs running at 100 Mbps
Use an Intel Cascade Cable to connect the hubs. You can connect a maximum of eight hubs. See page 4 for more information.
Hub 1
Hub 2
Never connect hubs running at 100 Mbps with TPE cable. Doing so violates the IEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet standard for Class I hubs.
