Untwisted wires or cables containing flat or parallel untwisted conductors must not
be used on an L
result in improper network operation and could, in certain circumstances, result in
damage to nodes connected to such a channel.
In a bus topology, the maximum wire length is 1400 meters (4593 feet). The maximum stub
length on a TP/FT 10 channel is 3 meters (10 feet). A stub is a section of unterminated trans-
mission line that branches off the main transmission line of interest. The branch line is termi-
nated as an open circuit.
In a free topology, the maximum length is 400 meters (1312 feet) node-to-node and 500
meters (1640 feet) total wire length.
In the event that the limits on the number of transceivers or total wire distance are
exceeded, then one FTT physical layer repeater can be added to interconnect two
segments and double the overall system capability.
Type 2:
16 AWG (Ø1.3mm), 1 twisted pair (1P), stranded conductor (STR), tinned copper (TNC), PVC
insulation, PVC jacket, unshielded, plenum FT6, CSA 600V or UL 300V.
