Appendix B — Technical Speciﬁcations

This appendix describes the technical features of the

AsantéBridge 1012.

Standards Supported:

IEEE 802.3 Ethernet speciﬁcations for thick (10Base5), thin (10Base2), and unshielded twisted pair (10BaseT) media

IEEE 802.1d speciﬁcations for transparent bridging with spanning tree implementation

Data Rate: 10 Mbps

Maximum Cable Distances: 10BaseT (UTP): 100m (328 ft.) 10Base2 (thin): 200m (656 ft.) 10Base5 (thick): 50m (163 ft.)

Ports:
