Between any two PCs or other stations in the same 10 Mbps collision
domain, there may be:
•
up to 5 link segments in series,
•
up to 4 repeaters (hubs),
•
up to 3 populated cable segments, that is, segments
attached to two or more PCs (coax networks only).*
* The remaining two segments are unpopulated; these are known as
