Supported Applications

FastHub 100 series hubs can function in a wide variety of applications, as follows:

Power workgroups and users

FastHub 100 series hubs can be attached to a 100BaseT port on a Cisco 7000, Cisco 7500, Cisco 4700, or Cisco 4500 series router or Catalyst 1900, Catalyst 2820, Catalyst 2900, Catalyst 3000, or Catalyst 5000 series switch to accommodate power workgroups or a power user with multiple workstations.

Server farms

With FastHub 100 series hubs, you can affordably build decentralized or centralized high-performance server farms attached to Cisco routers or Catalyst switches. A range of densities (4, 8, or 12 ports) is available to support the appropriate number of servers, with UTP or fiber media options to match installed cabling and distance requirements.

High-speed local backbone

FastHub 100 series hubs can be used to aggregate Catalyst 1900, 2820, or 3000 switches and connect to a 100BaseT port on a Cisco router or Catalyst 5000 switch. A FastHub 100 series can be connected to each Cisco router, or Catalyst 5000 port to aggregate up to 11 Catalyst switches. All interswitch traffic uses the 100BaseT local backbone provided by the FastHub 100 series hub.
