The Hub-16E ($530) from Protec Microsystems (Pointe-Claire, Quebec, Canada) features an automatic link-integrity test for each of its 16 RJ-45 ports. One port is switch-selectable to connect a workstation or to cascade to another hub. The unit also comes with one AUI port and one BNC port for universal connection to Ethernet networks. Other features include automatic port partitioning and reconnection, automatic polarity correction, and diagnostic LEDs that indicate link and partition status for individual RJ-45 ports.
