• KNE100TX/RSC	for SC connectors.

The Fast EtheRx hubs use stacking ports located on the rear panel to stack up to six hubs in any combination of 8-Port, 12-Port, or 24-Port models. Follow the directions below to stack up to six hubs together:

1.Locate the 50-pin shielded stacking cable included with your package contents.

2.Plug one end of the cable into the port labeled, “Out” on the first hub.

3.Plug the other end of the cable into the “In” port on the second hub.

4.Connect the AC power cord to each hub, then flip the power switch to turn on power to the unit.

5.Repeat the process to stack additional hubs up to a maximum of six

(6) hubs.

Figure 3 below illustrates the configuration for stacking six of the 12-port model hubs, expanding the total number of UTP port connections from 12 to 72 UTP ports, while still being recognized as one single repeater unit on the network. A maximum of six (6) Fast EtheRx hubs can be stacked in any combination of 8-, 12-, and 24-port models.
