least 2 inches of space on all sides for ventilation.

You can connect any device equipped with a 100BASE-T Ethernet interface to

the RJ-45 ports on the Model FE116 hub. These standard RJ-45 ports accept

To connect any of the RJ-45 ports on your Model FE116 hub to a PC, use a

regular straight-through UTP cable. If you are connecting using Port 16 on your

hub, set the Normal/Uplink push button to Normal.
