Configurations
The Netelligent 1009B 10Base-T Hub allows flexibility in configuring your
network. You can use the hub in a stand-alone or multiple hub configuration.
The hub’s RJ-45 UPLINK (MDI) port lets you connect multiple hubs using
Category 3, 4 or 5 unshielded twisted-pair cable, or you can link hubs using a
backbone connection.
You can install the 1009B hub in a standard wiring closet or close to a
workgroup. All end-node devices (for example, workstations or servers) must
be within 100 meters of the connected hub.
Stand-Alone Configuration
The 1009B hub can function as a simple stand-alone configuration as shown
below. Based on IEEE 802.3 standards, the maximum cable distance between
the hub and any workstation is 100 meters.
