Cabling
Twisted-pair segment can be use unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or
shielded twisted pair (STP) cabling. The cable must comply with the
IEEE 802.3u 100Base TX standard for Category 5. The cable
between the converter and the link partner (switch, hub, workstation,
etc.) must be less than 100 meters (328 ft.) long.
Fiber segment using single-mode connector type must use 9/125
μ
m
single-mode fiber cable. You can connect two devices in the distance
of 30 Kilometers in full duplex operation. For half-duplex operation,
the recommended maximum distance is 412 meters (1,352 ft.)
Fiber segment using multi-mode connector type must use 50 or
62.5/125 um multi-mode fiber cable. You can connect two devices up
to a 2-kilometer (6,562 ft.) distance.
