System Configuration Example
Long-distance Distributed Configuration
In large-scale network systems requiring a distance between network segments that exceeds the maximum
10Base-5 transmission distance of 500 m, optical repeaters can be connected to each network segment to
enable a network configuration with 2 km between repeaters.
Transceiver cable (AUI cable)
(Length: 50 m max.)
Optical repeater
Optical-fiber cable
(Length: 2 km max.)
The length of the AUI cable from
the coaxial cable to the multiport
transceiver terminal is 50 m max.
Multiport transceivers support
cascade connections for up to
two segments. A total of four
repeaters and hubs can be used
between any two terminals.
