Do not use structured building wiring or bundled type breakout cables at baud
rates above 38.4 K. Separate point to point cables are recommended at baud rates
!
above 38.4 K.
CAUTION
Standard Ethernet Connection
The transceiver cable must not exceed the maximum distances listed in Table 3-2.
10BaseT Ethernet Connection
The 10BaseT Ethernet installation must conform to the following configuration
rules:
• The twisted-pair cable must not exceed the maximum distance listed in
Table 3-2.
• No other signal should be used in the same cable sheath. For example, voice
and data signals cannot be run within the same sheath.
• Unshielded twisted-pair cable must remain at least 30.48 cm (12 in) from any
type of high-voltage power device or electrical noise source.
ThinWire Ethernet Connection
The ThinWire cable segment must conform to the following configuration rules:
• The maximum cable segment length must not exceed 185 m (606 ft).
• There must be a 50-ohm terminator at each end of the cable segment.
• There must be only one ground per cable segment.
• There must be at least 0.5 m (19 in) between T-connectors.
• The maximum number of stations, between terminators, must not exceed 30
stations.
• ThinWire cable segments must not be configured in a loop.
• ThinWire cable segments must not have any branch segments.
