Maximum Distance
The maximum operating distance of the fiber optic port on the AT-FS709FC Series Ethernet switch is 2 kilometers (1.25 miles). Cable lengths that exceed this limit can result in poor or erratic network performance.
Note
The fiber optic port on the network device that you intend to connect to the AT-FS709FC Series Ethernet switch must have the same operating characteristics as the fiber optic port on the switch. For example, the maximum operating distance and operating wavelength of the end node’s fiber optic port should be the same as the switch’s fiber optic port. For the technical specifications of the fiber optic port on the switch, refer to “Technical Specifications” on page 21.
