3Com 3C16670 SuperStack II Hub 10 (12-Ports) 10Base-T

The 3Com® SuperStack II Hub 10 works in conjunction with a Management Module or Advanced RMON Module and, optionally, with a stack of other SuperStack II Hubs to manage your local area network.

The Hub provides all the standard functions of an 802.3 repeater, including signal retiming, preamble regeneration, fragment extension, and automatic partition/reconnection.

The Hub has 12 or 24 dedicated twisted-pair ports on the front panel and an AUI port on the rear panel. The rear panel also has a slot for a 3Com Transceiver module or Bridge MicroModule; if fitted, the Module will operate in place of the AUI port. A variety of Transceiver Modules for different media is available. For all of the Hubs except the 12-Port, both the AUI port and the Transceiver port can be active at the same time.

Use the Hub as a standalone unit, or link it with other SuperStack II Hub 10s to form a stack of units of different media. Each stack is the equivalent of a single IEEE 802.3 repeater, so you get more ports without adding to your repeater count.

The Hub is suited for office use, where it can be wallmounted, rack-mounted, or freestanding. Alternatively, the unit can be rack-mounted in a wiring closet or equipment room. The Hub can be powered either from the AC mains supply or through an optional 3Com Redundant Power System.
