OfficeConnect Fast Ethernet Hubs
Fast Ethernet networking quite simply
means faster networking—quicker
exchange of data between PCs and
swift downloading from the network.
OfficeConnect delivers these benefits
and more, with a new range of Fast
Ethernet products designed specifi-
cally with the needs of the small office
in mind. At last, Fast Ethernet is
affordable for all users, and no longer
the preserve of “power hungry users”
such as CAD/CAM operators and
graphic designers. Each product fea-
tures plug and play installation and
requires no configuration. An easy-to-
read front panel display includes
diagnostic LEDs for monitoring
network activity.

vides eight unmanaged 100BASE-TX
ports for high-bandwidth connectivity

tivity to power users.
