Magnum DS880-A Dual-Speed add-on unit. Switch, Manual UP-LINK : MDI-X thumb-operated slide switch, converts RJ-45 port #8 from a regular (=position) user segment port to a crossover (X position) up-link port for On/Off connection to a central hub or another cascaded hub. The up-link port #8 is auto-sensing for speed, and the up-link works the same at 10Mb or 100Mb.

DS880-B hub or a DS880 stack, whether 100Mb or 10Mb, to talk to each other. The internal switch of the DS880-B filters and selectively forwards packets between the 10Mb and the 100Mb domains, maintaining peak performance in each domain unaffected by local traffic in the other domain.

DS880-A units can also be used without a DS880-B, whereupon they will function as dual-speed stackable hubs. This could be desired if there is an external non-auto-sensing switch (such as the Magnum 300ES Two-Port Switch) available to interconnect the two speed domains,...
Model DS880-B, and an internal power supply unit. The front side of the chassis has eight RJ-45 twisted-pair ports and one cascading (UP-LINK) switch for Port 8 on the right. LEDs to indicate operating status are on the left front side. There are power (PWR) and bridge-inside (BR) indicators for the unit.
Magnum DS880 Dual-Speed Stackable Hubs Stacking Magnum DS880s Up to four Magnum DS880s can be stacked to operate as one 10/100 dual-speed repeater with up to 32 dual-speed ports. Normally, one Magnum DS880-B hub per stack is needed to provide a switched interconnection between the two separate 100Mb and 10Mb traffic...
Up-link Switch on Port 8 for Cascading The unit has an up-link switch for Port # 8, located on the right-front side of the hub. It enables the port’s cable to either connect to a user station ( = position) or to be cascaded to another hub (X position).

An internal switch connects the 10 and 100Mb domains on Model DS880-B Model DS880-B has an internal switch for filtering / forwarding traffic between the 10 and 100Mb domains, allowing all connected devices to talk to each other. High performance switching provides full bandwidth in each domain, unaffected by local traffic on the other domain.
