What are the distance limitations of the Model 1058 using different gauge
wires?
Using 24 AWG (0.5 mm) wire, the Model 1058 is capable of providing Ethernet extensions up
to 4,656 ft (1.42 km) including the potential 328 ft (100 m) Ethernet connections on both
ends of the communications link. Using 26 AWG (0.4 mm) wire, the Model 1058 is capable of
providing Ethernet extensions up to 3,856 ft (1.18 km). Actual distance and link performance
will vary based on the environment (cross talk/noise) and type/gauge of wire used. The chart
below shows an example of how the gauge of wire affects the distance.
Wire Gauge: AWG (mm)
Distance: Feet (km)
26 AWG (0.4 mm)
3856’ (1.18 km)
24 AWG (0.5 mm)
4656’ (1.42 km)
22 AWG (0.64 mm)
5256’ (1.60 km)
20 AWG (0.81 mm)
5556’ (1.69 km)
18 AWG (1.0 mm)
5756’ (1.75 km)
16 AWG (1.29 mm)
5856’ (1.78 km)
*NOTE: Distances are based on a minimum to no cross talk environment. This distance table includes
the potential 328ft (100 m) Ethernet connections on both ends of the communications link.
Can the line rate be altered on the Model 1058 to achieve lower bandwidths
and/or longer distances?
No, the line rate is factory configured at 12.5Mbps. Please inquire for special factory
configurations.
Can the Model 1058 be configured for symmetrical or asymmetrical
transmission from the field?
No, the Model 1058 is factory configured for symmetrical transmission only. Please inquire for
asymmetrical versions.
Does the Model 1058 operate in pairs?
Yes, the Model 1058 must operate in pairs. For each link, a Central Office (1058D/CO or
1058DV/CO) and Customer Premise (1058D/CP or 1058DV/CP) unit is required.
