Note: Ethernet specifications limit the number of hubs with twisted
pair links in any communication path to five, as shown in the
example. When PC "A" communicates with PC "B," the
communication path goes from hub 4 to hub 2, to hub 1, to hub 3, and
then to hub 5
The following illustration shows cascading hubs together daisy-chain style and
indicates the setting of the Normal/Uplink push button on each hub.
