or the North American cabling standard (EIA/TIA 568A).
Number Of Attaching Devices
A Token-Ring network supports up to 255 attaching devices or nodes on a single
network when using 150 Ohm shielded media (type 1, 1A, 2, or 2A). When cable
segments in the network are 100 or 120 Ohm, this number is decreased to 132 (72
if using any 4 Mbps only adapters or filters).
