1.0 SPECIFICATIONS

1.1. Technical Specifications
Performance:

Data Rate: 10 Mbps
Partitioning: Enforced after 32 consecutive collisions.
Reconnect: Occurs after 512 bits error-free transmission.

Maximum Ethernet Segment Lengths:
10BASE-T (Unshielded twisted pair) - 100 m (328 ft)
10BASE-T (Shielded twisted pair) - 150m (492 ft)
AUI Drop Cable - 50 m (164 ft)
10BASE2 ThinNet (BNC) - 185 m (607 ft)
10BASE5 - 500 m (1,640 ft)
10BASE-FL multi-mode Fiber optic - 2 km (6562 ft)

Network Standards:
Ethernet V1.0/2.0 IEEE 802.3: 10BASE-T, 10BASE5, 10BASE2,
10BASE-FL, FOIRL.
(Magnum Stackable Personal Hubs are physical layer standard Ethernet
products, and operate in networks independently of all software.)

Operating Environment:
Ambient Temperature: 32ºF to 122ºF (0ºC to 50ºC)
Storage Temperature: -20ºC to 60ºC
Ambient Relative Humidity: 10% to 95% (non-condensing)

Power Supply (External):
Input: 95 - 125 vac at 60 Hz for "-d" Models,
200 - 250 vac at 50 Hz for "-i" Models, which have
IEC power cable connector in the external power unit.
Output: 12 VDC, 1 A
Polarity: center positive, shell negative
Power Consumption: 12 watts max.

Connectors:
ST80: Eight shielded RJ-45 ports (one with up-link switch); one rear AUI,
female, with slide lock; two Inter-Repeater-Bus connectors on the side.
ST80-B: Same as ST80, plus one rear BNC with internal termination switch.
ST80-F: Same as ST80, plus one rear Fiber ST-type.
(Shielded 10BASE-T connectors accept either unshielded or shielded wiring

plugs for standard twisted pair media wiring.)

The regular RJ-45 ports support the standard for hubs-to-users twisted
pair wiring: pin 1= receive+, 2 = receive-, 3 = transmit+, 6 = transmit-,
other pins not used. The RJ-45 port with the up-link switch is normally
the same, but when switched it supports the standard for up-links using
twisted pair wiring, i.e., the transmit and the receive pairs are exchanged:
pin 1 = transmit+, 2 = transmit-, 3 = receive+, 6 = receive- , other pins
not used.

Stackable Personal Hubs Installation and User Guide (04/01)

Switches:
Up-Link: MDI-X (Media Dependent Interface - Crossover) manual slide
switch, converts RJ-45 port #8 from a regular (=) user segment port to a
crossover (X) up-link port for on-off connection to a backbone or another
cascaded hub.
Stack Enable Switch: Manual slide switch to specify which Stackable
Personal Hub is the base of the stack. Exactly one hub should have its Stack
Enable switch in the “OFF” position (left). All other hubs in the stack should
have their Stack Enable switches set to the “ON” position (right).
Internal Termination Switch (ST80-B only): When switched to the right
position, allows BNC connection without a “tee” connector and a 50 ohm
terminator. When switched to left position, a “tee” connector is required.

LEDs:
PWR: GREEN when Proper DC power supplied to ST80.

COL: YELLOW when a transmit collision occurs on the hub.
LINK/TX (per port): GREEN when link established on port. Flickers as
port transmits packets.
POL/RX (per port): Flickers GREEN as port receives packets. Steady
GREEN when reversed polarity detected.

Packaging:
Enclosure: Rugged, high strength steel enclosure.
Suitable for vertical or horizontal mounting.
Any unit may be used stand-alone, or as either the base unit or an additional
unit in a stack (two stacking / mounting clips and one IRB cable are
included with each unit)
Recessed LEDs to avoid damage, located with the RJ-45 ports for convenience.

Dimensions:
All models: 6.75 in x 4.0 in x 1.0 in (17.1 cm x 10.1 cm x 2.5 cm)

Weight:
All models: 1.3 lb. (600 gr.)
Power Supply: 1.0 lb. (455 gr.)
