  • Page 7 In a repeater environment, 100BASE-TX only allows a single layer of cascaded hubs. Switching hubs, such as LantronixÕs LSW8FA, may increase the network diameter for 100BASE-TX networks by buffering data packets. Each port can be connected to a separate LAN segment, each with a maximum diameter of 205 meters, thereby increasing the overall 100BASE-TX network diameter.
