2 - 24 ONline Ethernet 10BASE-FB Module Installati on a n d Operation Guide
Fiber Backbone, Coaxial Connection
When connecting Thick or Thin Ethern et 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, rem ember
that these products have an equivalent fiber di stance of 800 meters.
Example: Connecting a Thin Ethernet (10BASE 2) Segment
Figure 2-9 shows an example of a Thin Ethe rnet segment connected to an
ONline System Concentrator using an IEEE Repeater
.
