Dual–Speed Personal MiniHub with Fiber Port, SC Multimode

Mix high-bandwidth 100-Mbps users and systems with economical 10-Mbps ports in your workgroup.

Has six autosensing ports, one switched 10-/100-Mbps port, and one 100-Mbps fiber port.

The 100-Mbps switched fiber port provides a fast, easy way to link workgroups to your corporate fiber LAN.

Adding to your network? You can connect another MiniHub if you need more ports!

The Dual-Speed Personal MiniHub is as small as a paperback book. It features autosensing 10-/100-Mbps ports for super-easy installation. If you have mixed 10-Mbps and 100-Mbps devices, the ports sense the speed and assign the device to the correct traffic domain automatically. An internal bridge chip interconnects the two domains, so there’s nothing for you to do when connecting these ports—not even software configuration!

Dual-Speed Personal MiniHub with Fiber Port
This model is the ideal way to link small workgroups to corporate fiber networks. And because it has copper and fiber connections in one box, you don’t need a media converter!

The hub has six autosensing RJ-45 half-duplex 10-/100-Mbps Ethernet ports. Each hub also features one switched RJ-45 port (Port 1). This port can connect a user or be used to daisychain to another hub. What’s more, the port is autonegotiating and can operate at 10- or 100-Mbps and in half- or full-duplex mode.

In addition, the MiniHub features one switched fiber port (Port 2) for backbone connections. Port 2 has both a fiber and an RJ-45 connector, but only one can be used at a time. The fiber connection can be used at 100 Mbps only; the RJ-45 port can be used at 10- and 100-Mbps speeds. Both switched ports (Ports 1 and 2) have a common half- and full-duplex switch. When the switch is set at full-duplex, the hub advertises full-duplex for autonegotiation on the RJ-45 ports. For fiber, it forces full-duplex mode at 100 Mbps. When the switch is set at half-duplex, the hub advertises half-duplex for autonegotiation on RJ-45 ports and forces half-duplex on the fiber port.

The six autonegotiating half-duplex 10-/100-Mbps ports (Ports 3–8) are one switched domain if used at a single speed (10 or 100 Mbps). If you mix both 10- and 100-Mbps connections, the hub will automatically divide these six ports into both a switched 10-Mbps domain and a switched 100-Mbps domain according to which speeds are connected to which port.

The hub also has a built-in store-and-forward switch, which provides an efficient connection from a workgroup to a central LAN. It automatically learns and maintains the addresses of attached nodes, enabling network additions and changes without reconfiguration.
