10BASE-T Stackable Hubs

Installing the Transceiver Tray

At the rear of the hub, there is an AUI connector designed for connecting the
hub to various types of Ethernet media such as thick Ethernet coaxial cable
(10BASE5), thin Ethernet coax (10BASE2), or fiber optic cabling (10BASE-
FL). The AUI connector is recessed, allowing most types of transceivers
(otherwise known as Media Access Units or MAUs) to be installed partially
recessed within the rear panel of the hub. To make inserting and removing
the transceiver easier, a transceiver tray has been included with the hub.
To install a transceiver using the tray, first place the transceiver in the tray,
with the slotted stubs on the transceiver's male AUI connector fitting into the
slots on the front of the tray. Open the door covering the AUI port and slide
the tray and transceiver into the slot until the connection is secure.
Most transceivers should fit within the slot. To accommodate larger
transceivers, insert a standard AUI cable using the tray. In this case, the cable
serves as a short extension to allow the transceiver to be used external to the
hub enclosure.
