Extender Cables
The Extender Cable is for communication between users on the same segment
across the stack. Use the Extender Cable to connect up to 8 hubs together to
make one segment.
As one segment, the connected stack of hubs are considered to be one repeater
hop. On initial bootup, all users are placed on segment 1 if no Management
Module is present.
Without the Extender Cable, each Switching Hub has its own collision domain.
If you need to manage your stack of hubs, or segment your hubs into different
collision domains, see chapter 2, “Optimizing Your Network”.
Stacked hubs can be close together or physically distributed. Each Extender
Cable included with a hub is 31.8 cm (12.5 inches). For longer distances, order
the Long Extender Cable (71 cm, 28 inch), part number 5182-9869, by calling
1-800-538-8787.
