Chapter 2 Planning your Network

Before you install your 4-Slot Modular Switch, you should review the guidelines for setting up Ethernet networks. Further, you should plan your network to take maximum advantage of its switching capabilities.

10Base-T Ethernet Network Guidelines

The maximum length of a 10Base-T cable segment is 100 meters (328 feet).

The maximum number of nodes on a 10Base-T segment is one (1) for regular 10Base-T.

The recommended cable type is EIA/TIA Category 3 or higher.

The maximum network diameter is 500 meters (1,640 feet) for Ethernet networks.

The maximum number of segments between any two nodes in the network is five.

The maximum number of hubs or repeaters between any two nodes in the network is four.

100Base-TX Fast Ethernet Network Guidelines

The maximum length of a 100Base-TX cable segment is 100 meters (328 feet).

The maximum number of hubs on a 100Base-TX segment is one if using Class I hubs and two if using Class II hubs.

The recommended cable type is EIA/TIA Category 5 untwisted-pair.

The maximum network diameter is 200 meters (656 feet) when using Class I hubs and 205 meters (672.5 feet) when using Class II hubs.

100Base-FX Fast Ethernet Network Guidelines

In Multi-mode, the fiber optic segment cannot exceed 2 km (62.5/125∝m), 2 km (50/125∝m) in length.

In Single-mode, the fiber optic segment cannot exceed 60km (9/125∝m) in length.
