Cable Distances - Extreme Networks BlackDiamond X8 Series Hardware Installation Manual

Cable Distances

This section provides information to help you select the cables to be used with the BlackDiamond X8
series switch. Table 10 shows cable media types and maximum distances that support reliable
transmission in accordance with international standards, except where noted.
Networks direct-attach cables.
