Connecting to Computers

The RJ-45 connectors labeled 1X to 8X can be used for connecting
to the network adapter installed in a computer. The network adapter
can be a 10BASE-T adapter, a 100BASE-TX adapter, or a 10/100
dual-speed NWay adapter. The following table lists the cables used
for connecting to different network adapters:
Adapter connected

The link from the hub to a 10/100 NWay adapter card is established
as a 100M connection.

Connecting to Network Switch Ports

The hub can support connections to Ethernet switches or Fast
Ethernet switches. Make sure the MDI-X to MDI-I connection
rule is followed when using straight-through UTP cable. The fol-
lowing table lists the cable and the cable length allowed for the
connections to different switch devices:
Switch connected
