Installing the HP 10/100 Hubs
Installation Procedures

1. Prepare the Installation Site

2-4
Cabling Infrastructure - Ensure that the cabling infrastructure meets
the necessary network specifications. See the following table for cable
types and lengths, and see Appendix B, "Cables and Connectors" for more
information:
Connection Cable Type
Type
10Base-T category 3, 4, or 5, four-
pair, 100 ohm UTP
(unshielded twisted-pair)
100Base-TX category 5, 100-ohm UTP
Installation Location - Before mounting a hub, plan its location and
orientation relative to other devices and equipment. Also consider the
cabling that will be attached to the hub and the ports that will be used.
Allow at least 2.54 cm (1 inch) in the front of the hub for the twisted-pair
cabling. In the back of the hub, allow at least 3.8 cm (1 1/2 inches) of space
for the power cord.
Length Limits
Up to 100 meters.
Connections are typically up to 100 meters
to end nodes and to switches, and 5
meters for the single cascade connection
to another (Class II repeater) hub, as
allowed by the 100Base-T topology rules.
See the section covering twisted pair
cabling in Appendix B, "Cables and
Connectors" for more information.
