Fiber Backbone, Coaxial Connection
When connecting Thick or Thin Ethernet segments to an ONline network, use an:
❑ONline Ethernet Bridge Module
❑ONline Ethernet Repeater Module
❑External bridge or repeater
If you use a repeater or the ONline Ethernet Repeater Module, remember that these products have an equivalent fiber distance of 800 meters.
Example: Connecting a Thin Ethernet (10BASE2) Segment
Figure 2-9 shows an example of a Thin Ethernet segment connected to an ONline System Concentrator using an IEEE Repeater
.
