7.8.3 NomadLink network cable lengths
The connection between the NLB 60E and your PC
is a standard Ethernet network running the TCP/IP
protocol. Cable distances between NLB 60E and your
PC follow standard rules for Ethernet systems.
In situations where the amplifiers and the NLB 60E
will be positioned in different locations at some
distance from each other, or where groups of
amplifiers within a single subnet with up to 60 units
will be installed with a distance in between, these
general rules applying to Ethernet cabling limitations
may be considered.
Rule 1:
•
The maximum cable length in between any two
devices may not exceed 300 meters / 980 feet.
Rule 2:
•
In a non-closed-loop daisy-chained subnet the
total maximum cable length is 400 meters /
1300 feet.
Rule 3:
•
In a closed-loop subnet the total maximum
cable length is 700 meters / 2300 feet.
