Fiber Networks
Note
: The maximum cable length for copper ports is 100 meters and 20km for fiber ports.
When data bypasses the inactive switch(s) to another active switch, the distance between the
two active switches must be within the maximum length, otherwise transmission will fail.
4.4 MRP
(Only for special request)
4.4.1 Introduction
MRP (Media Redundancy Protocol) is an industry standard for high-availability
Ethernet networks. MRP allows Ethernet switches in ring configuration to recover from failure
rapidly to ensure seamless data transmission. A MRP ring (IEC 62439) can support up to 50
devices and will enable a back-up link in 80ms (adjustable to max. 200ms/500ms).
