Connecting Cables
The FastHub8 and FastHub16 have 8 and 16 ports on the back panel,
respectively. If the port is connected but the Link/Activity LED is dark (not lit),
refer to Chapter 3, “Troubleshooting” on page 11 for further instructions.
Connect devices to the hub ports using the following guidelines.
Station Connections
Connect each station to the hub with a twisted-pair straight cable (10Base-T
cable, Category 3, 4, or 5). Plug the RJ45 connector into a port on the hub, and
plug the other end of the RJ45 cable into the station’s Ethernet adapter. If
necessary, adjust port speed on Ports 1 and 2 by setting the DIP switches before
connecting other devices.
Caution
Be sure to use Category 5 UTP cable when connecting 100 Mbps network
devices. The cable length should not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
Hub to Hub Connections
To use Port 8 as an uplink to another hub, manually set the uplink switch (on
the back of the hub) to the “Uplink” position. This eliminates the need for a
crossover cable.
Caution
The uplink cable length should not exceed 5 meters (16 feet) in an 100
Mbps configuration.
Your hub is ready for use.
