Connect to a Network Using the BNC Port
The BNC port on the rear panel of the hub is used for connecting to a thin
coaxial segment. You can connect other Model EN104/EN108/EN116 hubs,
servers, workstations, or other devices to the BNC port. A BNC-T connector is
inserted in the port, and the 50
end device. By using the BNC port for cascading, you treat each connected hub
as just another node on the coaxial segment.
The separation marks in the coaxial cable between the hubs in this illustration
represent the incorporation of other devices and show that interconnection is not
limited to hubs.

Note: Ethernet specifications limit a BNC segment to 30 BNC
connections, specify a minimum of 1.64 feet (0.5 m) between any two
stations, and limit segments to 607 feet (185 m) in length.
