Second, you are referred to the information previously presented on cascading.
This process will, in turn, allow you to electronically combine the two separate
stacks of hubs into a single network or collision domain.

Combining this information will result in a stacked/cascaded installation as

Additionally, we recommend that cascading be performed using the bottom
most hubs to mitigate internal propagation delays.
