Note 1
:
Where more than one media converter is used in one segment run,
the percentages for all of the cabling lengths in the run must be added
together and must not exceed 100%.
In another instance, a Magnum Media Converter is used to connect a
single
mode
fiber (100BASE-FX) with a twisted pair (100BASE-T) segment. In this example, the length of
fiber Segment X is 8500m (27,880 ft). This is 57% of the maximum allowable distance for
single mode 100BASE-FX fiber full-duplex media (15,000 m) [57/15,000 x 100% = 57%].
The length of twisted pair Segment Y is 12m (40 ft).
This is 12% of the maximum allowable distance for 100BASE-TX full-duplex twisted-pair
media (100 m) [12/100 x 100% = 12%]. The total of the two percentages (57% + 12%) is 69%,
which is allowable.
