Run 4-wire twisted-pair cabling between your Remote
MiniBridges. Keep these distance/data rates in mind:
• If you set the RMB’s top-panel LONG switch to

at 10 Mbps, and you can run CAT5 or shielded/
screened CAT3 cable as far as 500 m (1640 ft.),
CAT3 UTP as far as 400 m (1312 ft.).
• If you set the LONG switch to ON: The RMB will
transmit across the WAN link at 5 Mbps, and you
can run CAT5 or shielded/screened CAT3 cable
as far as 700 m (2296 ft.), CAT3 UTP as far as
600 m (1968 ft.).
