FEATURES
- DS80F units provide six 10/ 100 dual-speed RJ-45 ports for users, one 10/100 switched RJ-45 port for servers or for users, and one switched 100Mb Fibre FDX ”backbone” port
- DS80C units provide six 10/ 100 dual-speed RJ-45 ports and two 10/100 full-duplex switched RJ-45 backbone ports
- Compact office-hub packaging brings 100Mb fibre backbone connectivity to the workplace
- Fast Ethernet fibre connectors may be multi-mode SC, ST, or single-mode (either 20km or 40km “long-haul”) SC type
- Comes with a durable metal enclosure, metal mounting clips, and an external power supply for either 115vac or 230vac power
DS80F Dual-Speed Personal Hubs provide the performance of a 100Mb switched fibre link upstream with the convenience of dual-speed 10/100 copper ports for workplace LAN connections, all in one compact unit about the size of a paperback book. Where “future-proof” fibre cabling is installed in the building infrastructure to a wall plate or jack in each office, lab, classroom or small workgroup area, the DS80F-series enables 10/100 copper-cable devices to be economically connected. No media converter is required.
Designed for use in an individual’s multi-system office, or to support a small workgroup, a remote office or a classroom, the DS80F and DS80C are easy to install and use. Addresses of attached nodes are automatically learned and maintained, adapting the switching services to network changes and expansions to provide plug-and-play operation. Flow control maximizes throughput across all ports. Top-mounted LEDs provide status information on each port.
A DS80F Personal Hub has one full-duplex 100MB switched fibre port, one “N-way” switched RJ-45 port and six half-duplex 10/100 autonegotiating RJ-45 ports. While the switched fibre port is typically for a backbone connection, the switched RJ-45 port can be used at 100Mb FDX for a high-performance workplace server or to cascade to another DS80- series unit for expansion.
The DS80Fs 100Mb FDX fibre port supports full distance fibre LAN cabling, and is typically connected to a rack-mount fibre switch (such as the Quad-Series fibre Switches) in a wiring closet upstream. The fibre port is available with a multi-mode ST, SC, or MTRJ-type connector, or with a single-mode SC-type (to support either 20 or 40 kilometres). For applications where the fibre port is not needed, the DS80C model substitutes a second full-duplex copper port for the fibre port. The DS80-series Dual-Speed Personal Hubs include an external power supply unit for 115 or 230vac, a rugged metal case and metal mounting brackets suitable for wall mounting. The DS80-series Personal Hubs and the other high quality products are backed by a three-year warranty.
