In a mixed environment of 10Mbps and 100Mbps devices, the Express 330T
hub can provide the 100Mbps bandwidth to the clients (servers and power
users) that require it. Simultaneously, the hub can provide connections for
older 10Mbps devices.

As the number of clients increase, you can add another hub to increase port
density. Using a cascade cable. you can connect the 16-port hub with a 24-
port hub to create a hub stack. This hub stack now acts as a single hub with
40 ports. You can stack up to five hubs totalling 120 ports (five 24-port
hubs).
