    hub to another hub or switch. By uplinking different hubs or switches together , the number of nodes in a network can be increased. Expanding a network is neces- sary when planning to increase the number of computers connected, or when plan- ning to offer new services, such as printing capabilities or Internet access. Each port of a Dual-Speed Hub ...

    Chapter 3 - What is Fast Ethernet? Historical Background Fast Ethernet was developed in the early nineties as an answer to the bottle- necking problems encountered by older Ethernet networks. Ethernet is a network- ing technology that was developed in the early seventies. Ethernet networks carried data signals through thick passive cables at a 10Mb ...

    known as a shielded twisted-pair (STP). Ordinary wire to the home is unshield- ed twisted-pair (UTP). Use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) or shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable for Ethernet and Fast Ethernet networks. 10BASE-T : requires Category 3, 4, 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP-3, 4, 5) or Category 1 shielded twisted-pair (STP-1), or any equivalen ...

    Chapter 4 - How to Configure a Fast Ethernet Network Cable Length In a Fast Ethernet network, twisted-pair cables have a length limit. No UTP or STP cable can be more than 100 meters (328 feet) long. A signal cannot be sent between two end nodes through more than 200 meters of twisted-pair cable. In a non-uplinked network, all end nodes are thus co ...

    Apart from the length limit, users have to pay attention to three other special regulations when uplinking two hubs together: 1. When uplinking two network devices together , one jack on each hub must be used. 2. The uplink cable used between both hubs must be a straight-through UTP-5, STP-1 or equivalent twisted-pair cable. 3. If using the uplink ...
