With this technology, TRENDnet can now provide their customers with the lowest cost per port, in a fast Ethernet Hub.

The TE100-H8 is compatible with STP or UTP category 5 cabling system providing cabling choices for your installation requirement. The TE100-H8 is an easy to use, affordable 8-port 100Mbps Ethernet hub. The TE100-H8 provides full duplex capability. Using the TE100-H8, you can easily connect up to eight workstations/servers to a Fast Ethernet network.

The innovative stackable hub concept was prompted by the growing importance of LANs, the increasing complexity of desktop computing applications, and the need for high performance networks. The stackable technology is scaleable up to 6 TE100-12+ for totaling 72 100Mbps ports. In turn, the advantaged network system with the stackable technology increases the capabilities to 10 times a 10Base- T hub. It allows adding incremental ports without pushing beyond the repeater count limitation inherent to Fast Ethernet technology.
