Note
When connecting several devices as daisy chain (e.g. ibaPADU-8x with 3Mbit) or as ring
(e.g. ibaPADU-S-CM with 32Mbit Flex), the maximum distance applies to the section
between two devices. The FO signals are re-amplified in each device.
Note
When using fiber optics of the 50/125 µm type, a distance reduction of approx. 30-40%
must be expected.
