Planning a SynchLink Fiber Optic
Cable System
Read this chapter to plan your SynchLink fiber optic cable
system installation.

Estimating Cable Lengths
The SynchLink fiber optic cable system is designed to be
user-constructed and installed. To take full advantage of this flexibility,
you should spend sufficient time planning your system's installation
before assembling any of the hardware.
With a design analysis and, consequently, a system plan, you can
eliminate the potential for misapplication of media. The time and
effort spent planning your cable system installation is insignificant
compared to the time and effort required to locate and repair
damaged or improperly installed hubs, cables, and/or other cable
system components.
Since SynchLink lacks many features of a typical
IMPORTANT
network, we recommend that you use it in
conjunction with a ControlNet, EtherNet I/P, or
DeviceNet network for monitoring SynchLink node
status and other appropriate functions.
