HP EtherTwist Hub/8, Technical Data
Product Number 28691A
The HP 28691A EtherTwist Hub/8 is a 10Base-T multiport repeater that
includes eight twisted-pair ports and one thin coaxial (BNC) port. The
Hub/8 repeats and retimes signals, handles collision management, and
monitors individual link status. In addition, the hub automatically
segments individual ports disturbing the network and reconnects them
when the problems are cleared.
The Hub/8 can be used in small networks with just Hub/8s. In
addition, it may be cascaded from other hubs such as the HP EtherTwist
Hub Plus to add more nodes in an office.
Highlights
Low-Cost LAN Infrastructure: The HP EtherTwist Hub/8 gives you a low
connection cost that used to be possible only with ArcNet and thin coax,
while delivering the speed and reliability of 10Base-T (Ethernet on
twisted-pair cabling).
Simple Plug-and-Play Operation: The Hub/8 is designed to simplify
the installation and startup of your LAN. Twisted-pair cable plugs
directly into the RJ-45 ports, and coaxial backbone cable can be
connected to the integrated BNC port. No configuration or special setup
is required, which allows you to start up your LAN in minutes.
Topology Flexibility: Hub/8s can stand alone to support up to eight
users or be combined to support larger networks in various
configurations. Hubs can be connected using the BNC port with thin
coaxial backbone cable, or cascaded with twisted-pair cable. Either way
gives you growth paths for the future.
Features
o Provides eight twisted-pair ports using 8-pin modular (RJ-45) plugs
and one thin coaxial (BNC) port.
o Includes self-test for fault isolation
o Supports up to 100 meters of cable (typically) between hub and
twisted-pair transceiver or PC adapter card; greater distances are
possible with low-loss cable.
o Includes LEDs for Port Status, Collisions, Activity, Fault, and Power,
providing quick hub status checks and troubleshooting.
o Can be wall mounted or stacked on a table top.
o Operates transparently to network operating system software.
o Supports both IEEE 802.3 and Ethernet.
o Provides auto-segmentation of ports for fault isolation and improved
network integrity.
o Detects wiring polarity faults on the twisted-pair cable and
automatically switches polarity to compensate for the wiring error.
o Supports multi-hub configurations using either a thin coaxial backbone
between BNC ports or twisted-pair cascading between twisted-pair
ports.
o Supports voice and data signals in the same cable bundle.
o Installs in minutes.
Flexible Topology
The EtherTwist Hub/8s can be connected to one another by cascading with
twisted-pair cables (crossover required) or daisy-chained on thin
coaxial cable. The Hub/8 can be added easily to an existing ThinLAN
6
network by plugging on to BNC port. This allows you to grow your network
with a minimum of effort.
Compatibility to Meet Your Changing Needs
HP's EtherTwist hubs are fully compliant with the 10Base-T standard.
Hewlett-Packard has done extensive compatibility testing with other
10Base-T equipment on the market today, giving you the confidence you
need to build a multivendor network that best fits your business
requirements.
Maximum Reliability Through Fault Isolation
An HP EtherTwist hub automatically identifies any segment disturbing the
network and disconnects it from the rest of the network
(autosegmentation), ensuring network integrity. Once the problem is
corrected, the hub automatically reconnects the segment.
HP WireTest and Cabling
HP EtherTwist LANs use twisted-pair cabling (ordinary telephone wire).
Two pairs of 22, 24, or 26 AWG unshielded twisted-pair wire are required
for each connection. Shielded twisted-pair wire can also be used.
The HP WireTest Service is available to qualify your existing
telephone cabling for use in a Type 10Base-T network. Contact your local
HP Sales and Support Office or your HP Authorized LAN Dealer for
information and availability of this service. If you have a large
network and wish to do your own testing, you can purchase the HP 28687A
Wire Test Instrument.
