PS Hubs have four separate 10Mbps segments (segments 1­4) which are extended through a stack of PS Hubs by the PS Hub's cascade cables, as shown below. The Cascade Converter Kit allows you to connect segment 1 of the PS Hub stack directly to the Dual Speed Hub 500 stack's 10Mbps segment (and the 100Mbps segment, through the internal switch). This allows the workstations that are connected to that PS Hub segment to communicate with the 10Mbps and 100Mbps workstations and equipment that are connected to the Dual Speed Hub 500 stack. The maximum number of PS Hub units and Dual Speed Hub 500 units that you can connect using the Cascade Converter is eight. You can have a maximum of 6m (19. 6ft) of cascade cabling (including the cable that connects the PS Hub stack and Dual Speed Hub 500 stack) between the top and bottom units. The Cascade Converter Kit is made up of a Cascade Cable and a Cascade Converter. Connect the Cascade Cable to the `Dual Speed Hub Cable' end of the Cascade Converter (indicated on top of the Cascade Converter), as shown below.
