Cisco Systems, Inc announced the FastHub 400 10/100 Series, a line of high-performance 10/100 autosensing hubs designed to offer seamless migration to higher-performance LAN solutions. The FastHub 400 10/100 Series hubs deliver unmatched flexibility and low-cost managed connectivity to the desktop and are available in 12- and 24-port 10/100 managed and manageable configurations. "The FastHub 400 10/100 Series is the perfect complement to the Catalyst 2900 XL Series Fast Ethernet switches," said Andre Smit, technical leader at Cisco Systems SA. "For customers who want the flexibility of 10/100 Fast Ethernet at a low cost, the Catalyst 2900 XL Series can be used to aggregate one or more FastHub 400s to provide 10/100 connectivity to the desktop."
About the FastHub 400 10/100 Series The FastHub 400 10/100 Series provides unmatched flexibility through a broad range of features, including management options, integrated hub stacking ports, and switched uplink modules. The managed FastHub 400 models, the 12-port FastHub 412M and 24-port FastHub 424M, include embedded Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Remote Monitoring (RMON) capabilities and a Web-based management interface. Common to the Catalyst 2900 Series XL and Catalyst 1900 LAN switching products, Web-based management provides an easy-to-use graphical interface, allowing users to manage the hubs from anywhere on an intranet using a standard browser such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Explorer. In addition, a single FastHub 412M or FastHub 424M can provide management to an entire stack of four FastHub 400 hubs. Each FastHub 400 offers an uplink slot, providing long distance connectivity to the network core with an optional switched uplink module. Available optional uplink modules include:
A one-port 10Base/100BaseTX switch uplink module - one switched 10Base/100BaseTX autosensing, autonegotiating port for uplink connectivity of distances up to 100 meters
A one-port 10Base/100BaseFX switched uplink module - one switched 100BaseFX port for uplink connectivity of distances up to 2 kilometers
