 INFRASTRUCTURE Stackable Hub: SuperStack II Hub 100TX F ast Ethernet has quickly become the media of choice for high-speed, low-latency networks. Getting high-speed connections to the desktop requires a whole new line of scalable solutions that provides room for expansion and growth.
SuperStack II hubs can be stacked eight units tall, allowing for 104 Fast Ethernet connections in a single collision domain. 3Com's line also provides the added power of mixing and matching 100BASE-TX and 100BASE-T4 units to provide connectivity to your client workstations. With the optional stackable management unit, Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Remote Monitoring (RMON) statistics are available for the entire 3Com stack. In addition, optional redundant power supply rounds off this enterprise-class solution. Coming in with honorable mentions in the stackable hub category are products from Asantˇ Technologies and SMC. The Asantˇ Fast 100 Hub is the tallest 100-Mbps stackable we've seen, with up to 15 units in a single collision domain.
The SMC TigerStack 100 lets you segment traffic into multiple collision domains--a real bonus in Fast Ethernet environments.

3Com Corp. is right on target in this area with its SuperStack II Hub 100TX series of Fast Ethernet repeaters. 3Com offers media and uplink options ranging from 100BASE-FX to 100BASE-T4, which would make just about any network ready for the switch to Fast Ethernet.
