The Cisco FastHub 300 series of 100BaseT hubs combines all the benefits of stackable hubs with unmatched configuration flexibility, affordability and integrated Cisco IOS technologies. These modular, Class II repeaters deliver 10 times the performance of 10BaseT hubs and provide a choice of modules for a combination of cost-effective 10BaseT and 100BaseT bridging, integrated management and port expansion for a highly scalable, manageable and resilient solution.The FastHub 300 series hubs are ideal high-performance alternatives to 10BaseT hubs, delivering affordable 100-Mbps performance to workgroups and server farms. The FastHub 316T comes equipped with 16 100BaseTX ports for connecting your workstations and servers with inexpensive UTP wiring. It expands easily to 32 ports within a single unit by simply installing a 100BaseTX/16 port module in an expansion slot. The module is hot-swappable, so you can add users without powering down the network and disrupting existing users. Up to four fully configured FastHub 300 series hubs can be interconnected using a hub expansion cable to create a single, 128-port logical repeater. For the ultimate in expandability, the hub's unique Class II design lets you connect two of these 128-port stacks directly together in a single collision domain. The design also lets you distribute and connect hubs and hub stacks in separate wiring closets without requiring an intermediate switch, bridge or router.
