Installation Procedures
Prepare the Site
Before you begin installing the hub, prepare the installation site. Make sure your
operating environment meets the operating environment requirements of the
equipment.
Characteristic
Requirement
Temperature
Ambient temperature between 0° and 40° C (32° and
104° F).
No nearby heat sources such as direct sunlight, warm air
exhausts, or heaters.
Operating humidity
Ventilation
90% maximum relative humidity, noncondensing.
Minimum 2 inches (5.08 cm) on all sides for cooling.
Adequate airflow in room or wiring closet.
Operating conditions
Service access
At least 6 feet (1.83 m) to nearest source of
electromagnetic noise (such as photocopy machine or arc
welder).
Minimum 12 inches (19.68 cm) front and back for service
access and maintenance.
Front and back clearance for cables and wiring hardware
such as punchdown blocks.
Power
Adequate power source within 6 feet (1.83 m).
Wiring hardware
Wiring hardware, such as punchdown blocks or patch
panels, should be complete before installing the hub.
Installation
Place the Model FE116 hub on a flat surface or mount it on a wall with the
hardware included in the wall mount kit. Be sure the hub is positioned with at
least 2 inches of space on all sides for ventilation.
Connecting Devices
You can connect any device equipped with a 100BASE-T Ethernet interface to
the RJ-45 ports on the Model FE116 hub. These standard RJ-45 ports accept
either 2-pair or 4-pair Category 5 UTP cable (100BASE-TX networks require
only 2-pair wiring). The RJ-45 interface is an 8-pin connector.
To connect any of the RJ-45 ports on your Model FE116 hub to a PC, use a
regular straight-through UTP cable. If you are connecting using Port 16 on your
hub, set the Normal/Uplink push button to Normal.

Note: Ethernet specifications limit the cable length between your
PC or server and the hub to 328 feet (100 meters) in length.
Connect the Hub to a Network
Cascading refers to connecting hubs together to increase the number of ports or
the number of users supported on the network. The 100BASE-T ports can be
used to cascade hubs together.
Connect to a Network Using the 100BASE-T Ports
The twisted pair cable extended from a 100BASE-T port is called a twisted pair
segment and can be up to 100 meters (m) in length. The 100BASE-T ports, with
the exception of port 16, are MDI-X (or Normal) ports. If you are connecting to
ports 1 through 15, use either a straight-through or crossover cable as outlined in
the following table.

Fast Ethernet Technology
Fast Ethernet is conventional Ethernet but faster. Fast Ethernet, or 100BASE-
TX, operates at 100 Mbps instead of 10 Mbps. The 100BASE-TX technology
uses the same frame format and length as Ethernet and does not require changes
to the upper-layer protocols, applications, or networking software that run on
M-FE116NA-1 QCARD

LAN workstations. If your network is migrating from 10 to 100 Mbps, you can
switch and route data from 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps without protocol translation
and its associated delays. Fast Ethernet is based on the proven CSMA/CD
Media Access Control (MAC) Protocol.
The most popular cabling scheme in an Ethernet network today is star-wired
topology, where the hub is in a central wiring closet and individual cables run
out to each tabletop device. This topology is the same topology used by Fast
Ethernet, although the maximum allowable network diameter is smaller because
of the increase in packet speed.
Cable Guidelines for Fast Ethernet
Fast Ethernet uses UTP cable, as specified in the IEEE 802.3u standard for
100BASE-T. The specification recommends Category 5 UTP cable consisting of
either 2-pair or 4-pair twisted insulated copper conductors bound in a single
plastic sheath. Category 5 cable is certified up to 100 MHz bandwidth.
100BASE-TX operation uses one pair of wires for transmission and the other
pair for receiving.
When installing Category 5 UTP cabling, use the following guidelines to ensure
that your cables perform to the following specifications:
•
Certification
Make sure that your Category 5 UTP cable has completed the Underwriters
Laboratories (UL) or Electronic Testing Laboratories (ETL) certification
process.
•
Termination method
To minimize crosstalk noise, maintain the twist ratio of the cable up to the
point of termination; untwist at any RJ-45 connector or patch panel should
not exceed 0.5 inch (1.5 cm).
Cable Lengths for Fast Ethernet
Category 5 distributed cable that meets ANSI/EIA/TIA-568-A building wiring
standards can be a maximum of 328 feet (100 m) in length, divided as follows:
•
•
•
20 feet (6 m) between the hub and the patch panel (if used)
295 feet (90 m) from the wiring closet to the wall outlet
10 feet (3 m) from the wall outlet to the desktop device
The patch panel and other connecting hardware must meet the requirements for
100 Mbps operation (Category 5). Workmanship quality is a must. Only 0.5 inch
(1.5 cm) of untwist in the wire pair is allowed at any termination point.
