AT-FS705E FC and AT-FS706E FC Installation Guide

If your network consists of several AT-FS705E FC and AT-FS706E FC switches, then you will probably want to connect them together to form an integrated network. Here the fiber optic ports can be extremely useful. You can use the ports to create a fiber optic backbone. With a maximum operating distance of 2 kilometers (1.25 miles), the ports can be used to connect together switches that are physically far apart. In the topology shown in Figure 5, two AT-FS705E FC switches and one AT-FS706E FC switch have been interconnected using the fiber optic ports.
