Description
IBM 8222 60G2534 6-Port 10BASE-T Unmanaged Ethernet Hub AUI RJ-45 10Mbps LAN
The IBM 8222 is a 6-port 10BASE-T unmanaged Ethernet hub designed for small workgroup LAN connectivity. Running at 10 Mbps, it connects up to six devices via standard RJ-45 ports and includes an AUI (DB-15) uplink port for connection to a backbone or additional network segment. Front-panel LEDs provide per-port Link OK and Disabled status at a glance, along with global Activity, Collision, and Power indicators.

Applications
The IBM 8222 dates from the early-to-mid 1990s, when 10BASE-T hubs were the standard building block of office and campus LANs. At the time, IBM offered a range of networking hardware to support its PC and workstation lines, and hubs like the 8222 were used to connect PCs, workstations, and servers in small to medium workgroups running TCP/IP, NetBIOS, or IBM's own LAN protocols. The AUI port allowed connection to Thick Ethernet (10BASE5) backbones or external transceivers, making the unit versatile in mixed-media network environments. Today this type of hub is sought by collectors of vintage IBM networking equipment, retro computing enthusiasts, and anyone maintaining legacy 10BASE-T infrastructure for older systems that require a hub (rather than a switch) for shared-media compatibility.
This IBM 8222 10BASE-T Ethernet Hub (P/N 60G2534) was pulled from a working environment where it was previously in use. It has been visually inspected and photographed. The unit appears to be in good cosmetic condition overall; the rear panel shows some light surface scratching typical of used network equipment. No power cord is included. Please review all photos and contact us with any questions before purchasing.
