100% = 39%]. The length of Segment Y is 55m (165 ft). This is 55% of the maximum
allowable distance for UTP 10BASE-T media (100 m) [55/100 x 100% = 55%]. The
total of the two percentages (39% + 55%) is 94%, which is allowable.
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%.
Note 2:
If the total segment distance calculation result is greater than 100%, consider
using a Magnum Repeater so that each cable type can be 100% of its maximum allowed
length.
Note 3:
The maximum number of 10Mb Media Converters that can be used in series is
three. The cumulative noise from four or more units together causes packet alignment
errors.
