It's not unusual to have 1 coax on a switch/hub you can use it for SNMP in

case U use Side-stream management. Otherwise if you use it for connecting
your network I don't believe it will take advantage of that FD 10mbit. And
all
data the switch doesn't know how to route will drop at that coax-line.
IMHO it's usefull for management information.
