Chapter 1: Product Overview Introduction to Fast Ethernet Standard 10 Mbps Ethernet has served well for past generations of 286 and 386 machines performing simple file transfers. However, with the inevitable growth in corporate network size and the introduction of fully-functional 32-bit PC architectures, and operating systems running complex applications, 10 Mbps Ethernet has become a serious bottleneck. With the recent flood of choices for upgrading media bandwidth, 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet

Fast EtherHub-12se User’s Guide These Fast EtherHubs support the following basic system safeguards: • This hub features automatic partitioning and reconnection, jabber lockup protection, and automatic polarity detection for network cabling. • With automatic partitioning and reconnection, any port is automatically isolated if excessive collisions occur on it. When the collision rate subsides, the port is automatically reconnected. • With the jabber lock-up function, the hub automatically stops t

Fast EtherHub-12se User’s Guide Distance Limit for Fast Ethernet Cabling There are two common ways to calculate maximum cable length. The first way, which is refered to as the “Simplified Cable Length Constraints” method assumes that the maximum permissible cable length is used to connect various end-node devices (such as workstations or servers) to the hub. A more careful method of calculating maximum cable length, referred to as the “Precise Length Budgeting” method, requires you to measur

Fast EtherHub-12se User’s Guide Precise Cable Length Budgeting If you plan on installing a network for a small office, it may not be convenient to place hubs within 5 meters of each other, and then run up to 100 meters of cabling for each end user. This kind of installation can be very messy and wastes a lot of cabling. Depending on how your users are spread out, it may be more convenient to run a longer length of inter-hub cabling (say 50 meters or more), and then run shorter lengths of cab

Fast EtherHub-12se User’s Guide On the other hand, if two hubs are connected via 100m of fiber optic cabling, then the total length of remaining cabling that can be used to connect two end- nodes to hub 1 and 2 respectively is 367m - (2 x 80m) - (0.9 x 100) = 117m. A more detailed example of calculating the maximum cable length for fiber optics is included in the section on 3UHFLVH*XLGHOLQHVIRU&RQILJXULQJ0XOWLSOH+XEV in Chapter 3.
