Product Description

UTP, Cascade, and Uplink Ports

While the eight UTP ports can be used to directly connect to workstations in a
standalone configuration, Port 8 is equipped with an MDI/MDI-X switch that
conveniently provides the connection (cascade) to other hubs.

In addition, the 10Base-FL(ST/SC) port provides the uplink connection to a
fiber backbone network. See Figure 5. Also, see Chapter 3 “Configurations” for
standalone, cascade and uplink configurations.
