The SuperStack
connecting the SuperStack II Dual Speed Hub 500 to a SuperStack II PS Hub.
PS Hubs have four separate 10Mbps segments (segments 1–4) which are extended
through a stack of PS Hubs by the PS Hub's cascade cables, as shown below.
The Cascade Converter Kit allows you to connect segment 1 of the PS Hub stack
directly to the Dual Speed Hub 500 stack's 10Mbps segment (and the 100Mbps
segment, through the internal switch). This allows the workstations that are
connected to that PS Hub segment to communicate with the 10Mbps and 100Mbps
workstations and equipment that are connected to the Dual Speed Hub 500 stack.
The maximum number of PS Hub units and Dual Speed Hub 500 units that you can
connect using the Cascade Converter is eight. You can have a maximum of
6m (19.6ft) of cascade cabling (including the cable that connects the PS Hub stack
and Dual Speed Hub 500 stack) between the top and bottom units.
The Cascade Converter Kit is made up of a Cascade Cable and a Cascade Converter.
Connect the Cascade Cable to the 'Dual Speed Hub Cable' end of the Cascade
Converter (indicated on top of the Cascade Converter), as shown below.
