A single 2-Port Smart Access Lobe enables
connection of two workstations to a lobe or a single
4-Port Smart Access Lobe enables connection of four
workstations to a lobe. A typical application is shown
in the illustration on the next page. The main lobe
cable (L) running from the distribution panel
located at the wiring closet to the faceplate located at
the workstation's area is low-cost unshielded IBM
Type 3 cable or screened UTP cable. All patching
cables (P) are IBM Type 3 cable or screen UTP
cable.
The maximum lengths stated below are the "general
rule." These lengths may be exceeded in rings where
