Workgroup Connectivity For All Media

SMC’s TigerHub™ family provides connectivity for a variety of Ethernet wiring environments and multi-port repeater applications, from basic workgroups to remote branch offices. These low-cost, economical hubs offer plug and play simplicity for twisted-pair, thin coax and fiber networks. There are desktop versions for small workgroups and rack-mountable, segmentable versions that can boost the performance of larger, high-traffic workgroups. And, each hub has one or two additional ports for backbone or mixed media connectivity.

The 6- and 12-port 10BASE-T models are ideal for building cost-effective workgroups using unshielded twisted-pair wiring in central or branch offices.

The 3- and 6-port thin coax models are ideal for extending existing thin coax LANs, and also for improving the manageability and reliability of a thin coax network.

The 6-port fiber model is ideal for linking wiring closets in a building, or multiple buildings in a campus environment.

SMC’s TigerHub family provides the flexibility to quickly and easily expand your network, plus the proven reliability you expect from SMC. And, they’re all ideal companions to SMC’s award-winning Ethernet network cards.

Desktop TigerHubs for Small Workgroups

With their small footprint and low profile, these TigerHubs can be placed on any flat surface or easily mounted on a wall. There are three desktop models: two 6-port 10BASE-T hubs, and one 3-port thin coax hub.

 

For added flexibility, each hub contains an AUI or BNC port to
simplify connectivity to a backbone or mixed media LAN.

 

Desktop Tigerhubs offer:

• Low profile and small footprint
• Comprehensive array of easy-to-read diagnostic and status LEDs

Rack-Mountable, Segmentable Hubs for Large Workgroups

Double your bandwidth with SMC’s segmentable TigerHubs! These rack-mountable hubs can be segmented into two 10 Mbps domains for a total of 20 Mbps of aggregate bandwidth.

 

 

 

There are three segmentable TigerHub models: a 12-port 10BASE-T hub, a 6-port thin coax hub, and a 6-port fiber hub. Each hub has two additional ports for easy connection to a larger, distributed topology network.

 

 

These plug and play hubs can be rack- or wall-mounted, or placed on any flat surface. Each hub comes with mounting brackets for quick installation in a standard 19-inch rack.

 

 

• Segmentation doubles average available bandwidth per node
• Built-in BNC port for easy connection to thin coax backbone for TP12 and FL6 models
• Comprehensive array of easy-to-read diagnostic and status LEDs

 

 

 

Features/Benefits

Versatile

• Segmentable into two 10 Mbps collision domains for 20 Mbps aggregate bandwidth
• Two additional ports (AUI and either BNC or RJ-45) for easy backbone and mixed media connectivity
• Rack-, table- or wall-mount chassis design

Easy to Install and Use

• No configuration required, just plug and play!
• Extended distance support on thin coax and 10BASE-T segments
• Support standard, straight-through wiring between the TigerHub and PC on all twisted-pair ports, and between a pair of cascaded hubs on uplink port
• Automatic polarity detection and correction on twisted-pair ports
• Easy-to-read diagnostic LEDs indicating hub and port status
• Automatic port partitioning and reconnection isolates problem until faults are corrected
• Internal, auto-ranging power supply for worldwide operation
• Low profile (1.75 in. = 1 unit high) for maximum density in equipment rack

Exceptionally Reliable
