Install Repeaters In Series

When you install repeaters in series, you can install a maximum of 20
repeaters (or 21 segments) to form a link. In the link below:
• there are 3 repeaters in series (A, B and C)
• segments 1 and 4 each have 2 taps and each = 1000 m (3280 ft)
maximum length
• segments 2 and 3 each have 3 taps and each = 983.7 m (3226.6 ft)
maximum length
