ATTENTION! Some HUBs commonly available have one of the standard female connectors (downlink)
common with the connecting female connector (UPLINK). In case we use the female connector UPLINK to
interconnect HUBs among each other, than we cannot use the corresponding standard female connector
(and vice versa). For more details see the documentation of the HUB used.
Cable length, possibilities of creation of wide areas networks
The following schemes show the maximum lengths of the cables and thus the range of the network of the
systems for common ETHERNET 10Mbit distribution (TP or coaxial).
Network with one HUB
Each cable max. 102 m
Any HUB
A wider network, more
HUBs
Always max. 3 HUBs
between two arbitrary
systems
