I have an IBM Hub Type 8222-008, P/N 86H1405, 120-240V 50/60Hz 01 1Amp S/N 23-E3991.
I've contacted IBM for the specs. on this unit, and am told it's no longer being sold on the market.
Does anyone know where I can locate info. on this product?

Last week I asked a question concerning connecting two computers together, and receieved much help. Thanks a lot!!

I found useful information here:

http://www.networking.ibm.com/82n/82nover.html

This unit is a simple 8-port 10baseT hub, that has a coax connector for use with a 10Base2 network.

In other words, there's nothing reall yspecial about this unit. I can see where it would still be servicible, even if it is using somewhat dated technology.

If you need to replace it, there are any number of vendors who can sell you functionally equiivalent hardware. In fact, whatever you replace it with may likely be better, since it will probably incorporate switching technology, and be a 10/100 megabit unit.
