The Cisco FastHub 400 10/100 series of high-performance Fast Ethernet repeaters delivers unmatched flexibility and low-cost managed connectivity to the desktop. The FastHub 400 10/100 series provides ultra low-cost 10/100 autosensing desktop connectivity where dedicated bandwidth is not required. The FastHub 400 10/100 product line provides a broad array of deployment flexibility and options to meet virtually all customer-specific network requirements, including management, switched uplinks, and integrated stacking connectors.
The FastHub 400 10/100 series will be deployed as a high-performance solution for providing 10/100 Fast Ethernet connectivity to the desktop. Catalyst 2900 series XL switches are ideal for aggregating FastHub 400 repeaters. The optional switched uplink modules of the FastHub 400 series will be used to provide dedicated connections over extended distances (up to 2 kilometers) to upstream switches or routers. The FastHub 400 10/100 repeaters will also be deployed to create a high-performance 10/100 Fast Ethernet LAN in a workgroup environment. The FastHub 400 10/100 switch uplink modules will provide connectivity to a Wide Area Network (WAN) router. And, as workgroup size grows, the FastHub 400 10/100 products can scale in several ways, including stacking via the integrated stacking connectors, creating multiple switched hub segments with the uplink modules, or using the Class II repeater design to daisy chain hubs together.
