Hub to Switch

One or more 10BASE-T, 10/100 dual-speed or 100Base-TX hubs

can be connected to the DES-1008D Dual-speed Switch via a two-

pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP straight cable (the same used to

connect a computer). In the case of a 10 Mbps Ethernet hub, a

Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP/STP cable can be used; a 10/100 dual-speed

or 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet hub needs to use Category 5 or better

UTP/STP.

NOTE:

The first twisted-pair port (Port 1x) is shared with the

Uplink port. If you connect a hub to the Uplink port,

then do not use Port 1x (and vice-versa). Never

have devices connected to the Uplink port and

Port 1x at the same time.

The connection shown above uses a normal straight-through cable

to connect the switch's normal twisted-pair (MDI-X) port 1x to the

hub's Uplink (MDI-II) port. Though Port 1x on the switch was

chosen for the example, any of the non-Uplink normal twisted-pair
