100BASE-T network topology of 400 meters

In the next illustration, the network topology is extended to a maximum distance of 521.6 meters. In this network, two 160.8 meter fiber links connect two repeaters to a switch in the wiring closet. 100 meter Category 5 copper links connect workstations and servers to the 100BASE-T repeater. Each collision domain in this network is a maximum of 260.8 meters. When the collision domains are interconnected through the switch, the network topology is extended to a total of 521.6 meters.
