Figure 5-2 10Base5 System Basic Connection Method - Hitachi S10mini User Manual

If the inter-node distance is longer than 500 m, you can increase the number of segments by making
branches with repeaters as shown in Figure 5-2. In an example system shown in Figure 5-2, the
maximum inter-node distance is not longer than 1500 m. Ensure that the number of repeaters does
not exceed 2 in any path between arbitrarily selected two nodes.

A repeater can be mounted on any transceiver within the same coaxial

Transceivers must be installed at spacing intervals of an integer multiple of
