EOL: Cisco FastHub 200 Series Hubs

EOL: Cisco FastHub 200 Series Hubs

Product Overview

The FastHub 200 series hubs deliver the lowest-cost, managed 100BaseT hub solution for smaller workgroups and server farms. These Class II standalone hubs combine 100-Mbps performance and integrated management with Cisco IOS technologies. The FastHub 200 series hubs are ideal high-performance alternatives to 10BaseT hubs.

The first model in the FastHub 200 series, the FastHub 216T, has 16 100BaseTX ports for high-speed connectivity over UTP wiring.

The hub`s unique Class II design lets you connect two hubs together, creating a 30-port collision domain. The FastHub 216T can connect to other Class II hubs including the FastHub 300 and FastHub 100 series. The Class II design also lets you distribute and connect hubs in separate wiring closets, without requiring an intermediate switch, bridge or router.
