Guys, I have a setup where it's perfect, except I am short of 1 (one) TX100 port. I don't want to put in another switch/hub and for sure there will be no further expansion to this (specialized) LAN. I remember the ole COAX ethernet, everybody was on the same wire, there was no need for a powered hub. Can I just tie my TX100 wires together and create this one extra port? I don't care about the extra collision, and the reduced bandwidth, and my two CAT5s are less than 3 feet. Does this work? Will I fry this thang? >> Stay informed about: Hardware Gurus: How-to build passive Ethernet Hub?
