1. Cascading EIM Hubs Using Twisted-Pair Cabling WWW_P※LCJS_COM-PLC-)技.术_网 WWW_PLC※JS_COM-PmLC-技.术_网 |
In shared Ethernet networks, repeating hubs and associated cabling all reside in a common collision domain. Expanding the network beyond the maximum allowable collision domain results in unstable operation. When expanding 10 Mbps twisted-pair networks, a maximum of four repeating hubs can be cascaded.

The restriction that all repeating hubs and associated cabling must reside within the collision domain limits the deployment of fiber optics. However, it is possible to create a network of four repeating hubs and a mix of twisted-pair and fiber optic cabling. The end hubs incorporate twisted-pair cabling, on all ports, while the two inner hubs share a single fiber optic segment which can be up to 2 km in length. ![]() WWW_PLCJS@_COM%-PLC-技.术_网 WWW_P※LCJS_CO※M-PLC-技-.术_网 |
A two-port fiber optic model is available in the EI series, which allows for the cascading of three repeating hubs using two fiber optic segments. In order not to violate the collision domain restriction, the two fiber optic segments cannot exceed an accumulative length of 2 km.
