Cabling
Twisted-pair segments can be connected with unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or
shielded twisted pair (STP) cable. The cable must comply with the IEEE 802.3u
100Base TX standard for Category 5. The cable between the converter and the link
partner (switch, hub, workstation, etc.) must be less than 100 meters (328 ft.) long.
Fiber segments using
single-mode
connector type must use
9/125µm single-mode
fiber cable. Users can connect two devices at a distance up to
30 Kilometers
.
Fiber segments using
multi-mode
connector type must use 50 or 62.5/125 µm
multi-mode fiber cable. Users can connect two devices up to
2 Kilometers
.
