    Section 1 - Introduction The MaxTech FHX-8100 is an 8-port hub compliant with the IEEE 802.3u 100Base-TX fast ethernet standard. The eight RJ-45 ports connect workstations or other devices together on a 100Base-TX fast ethernet network using twisted- pair cable. An additional crossover port connects this hub to a second hub using a standard (straight-through) network cable for easy network expansion.

    The maximum length from node to node = 367m - S(Repeater Equivalent Length @ CAT-5), or 367m - S(REL@5). The FHX-8100 has an inherent repeater delay of 80BT or 72 meters (REL@5). Taking a daisy-chain of two hubs for an example, the maximum cable length from node to node is: 367m - (2 x 72m) = 223m.
