Fiber Optic Cable Length Limitations
The 10BASE-F standard permits you to use fiber optic cables up
to 2000 meters long. However, the fiber connection must meet
the following criteria:
• Optical power budget (shown in Table 3)
• Ethernet repeater rules
For more information about simple rules for Ethernet network
compliance, refer to
Using the BayStack 10BASE-T Hubs .
The optical power budget is shown in Table 3. Power loss in the
link cannot exceed the value for the type of fiber optic cable you
are using.
Only in-line fiber-to-fiber connections (a connection between
two fibers terminated with fiber connectors, using a fiber-to-fiber
connector) count against the optical power budget. The loss in a
fiber connection at the ends of the link are included in the optical
power budget and does not count as an in-line connection.
