G. Power Port: Insert the 12 VDC adapter plug into this
port on the 10/100 Base-T hub
The 10/100Base-T Network Hub is a specification for
Ethernet networks based on twisted pair cabling. The
maximum conductor length of a segment for
10/100Base-T networks is 90 meters (approximately
295 feet).
To establish 10/100Base-T connections, you will need
the following equipment:
• Twisted pair Category 5 or 5e patch cords for hub-to-
Category 5 or 5e Modules
• Twisted pair Cat 5 patch cord for hub-to-hub connec-
tions, usually referred to as “hub cascading”, for
more than 5 ports
• Twisted pair Category 5 or 5e patch cords for wallplate
Category 5 or 5e jacks to network interface card (NIC)
connections at your PCs
Note: Each PC and peripheral in the network will also re-
quire a 10/100Base-T compatible NIC or adapter and
appropriate driver with associated software to function
on the network.
The 10/100Base-T Network Hub has five Category 5 or
5e connectors for attaching up to five 10/100Base-T
based workstations. To establish such connections:
• Ensure that both the hub and the soon-to-be con-
nected workstation are in the OFF modes
• Plug one end of the patch cord into an available
10/100Base-T hub port
• Plug a patch cord at the other end of the link into the
workstation NIC
9.5.1 Video Distribution (Coaxial)
There are many possible variations of coaxial video dis-
tribution using Leviton Structured Media Components.
The three basic types used in residential work are the
following:
• Passive distribution using a 4-, 6- or 8-way passive
splitter
• Hybrid distribution combining the passive splitters
with the dedicated Video Amplifier
• Active distribution using the Bi-Directional Video
module or the 3x4 Multi-Switch.
Passive Distribution with the 4-, 6- or 8-way splitter
The simplest distribution method is passive distribution.
It is a satisfactory solution for distributing coaxial cable
TV in multiple rooms in a single-family home. Leviton
splitters come with 4, 6, or 8 outputs to correspond to
the number of video locations covered by your installa-
tion. The 6-way splitter, which is included with the
Essential Platform, is designed to meet the majority of
video distribution needs, for example:
• Two seperate wallplate locations in the living room.
• One location in the kitchen
• One location in each of the three bedrooms
A separate stand-alone 6-way splitter is also available.
