TORRANCE, CA - September 30, 1995 — TRENDnet will take the lead as the provider of the total Fast Ethernet solution with the introduction of its 100Mbps Ethernet hub, the TE100-H12. Maximizing the latest 100Base-TX Ethernet technology, the TE100-H12 is the fastest hub on the market.

Driven by client-server, graphics and multimedia applications demands, many networks have been unable to provide adequate response time to an ever-increasing number of users. And, it is simply a matter of time before applications demand more bandwidth. The answer is an upgrade to Fast Ethernet, and the number of networks that will migrate to 100Mbps technology is projected to grow rapidly.

100Base-TX Fast Ethernet operates the same way as 10Base-T Ethernet, except that the network data transfer rate is ten times faster. TE100-H12 is equipped with thirteen RJ-45 ports. Up to twelve stations can be connected on Category 5 cable. One of these ports is designed to "uplink" for hub-to-hub cascading. Thus, the TE100-H12 can easily be wired with another 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet hub to expand the network.

The TE100-H12 is the excellent choice for network users who require higher bandwidth, flexibility, functionality and high-performance at a cost effective price. Using the TE100-H12 and the existing TE100-PCI 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet adapters, TRENDnet’s vision is to provide the complete 100Mbps solution for the fastest Ethernet networking anyone has ever seen.
