Connecting The Switch
Hub to Switch
One or more 10BASE-T, 10/100 dual-speed or 100Base-TX hubs
can be connected to the DES-1008D Dual-speed Switch via a two-
pair Category 3, 4, 5 UTP/STP straight cable (the same used to
connect a computer). In the case of a 10 Mbps Ethernet hub, a
Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP/STP cable can be used; a 10/100 dual-speed
or 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet hub needs to use Category 5 or better
UTP/STP.

NOTE:
The first twisted-pair port (Port 1x) is shared with the
Uplink port. If you connect a hub to the Uplink port,
then do not use Port 1x (and vice-versa).
Never
have devices connected to the Uplink port and
Port 1x at the same time.
Using a straight cable
The connection shown above uses a normal straight-through cable
to connect the switch’s normal twisted-pair (MDI-X) port 1x to the
hub’s Uplink (MDI-II) port. Though Port 1x on the switch was
chosen for the example, any of the non-Uplink normal twisted-pair
