You can place the units on top of each other and interlock them to form a stack. A stack can consist of any combination of LanEdge hubs. It is recommended that the heaviest unit be placed as the base (bottom) unit.

Technical Specifications Recommended Cables and Cable Specifications There are various grades of voice-quality and data-quality cables available. These can appear to be similar externally, although their high-speed data transmission characteristics are radically different. The identification problem is made worse by some suppliers selling voice-quality cables as data-quality cables. If voice-quality cables are used in a 100Base-TX network system, data movement may be slow, collision-prone or non-existent.
