Basic Rules
When deploying
•UTP cable length from repeater to workstation or switch can’t exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
•Fiber cable length from repeater to workstation or switch can’t exceed 131 meters (429 feet) .
•You can’t use UTP cabling to connect Express Stackable Hubs to each other. Express Stackable Hubs are Class I repeaters and can be connected only with Intel Cascade Cables.
Distance limitations
100BASE-T4 and 100BASE-TX
The EIA/TIA 568 wiring standard specifies that UTP wiring must not exceed 100 meters (328 feet) from repeater to workstation or switch. This specification limits collision domain diameter to 200 meters (656 meters).
