Buffalo Technology WLAR-L11-L manual Connection Restrictions, 10BASE-T network

Connection Restrictions

The following restrictions apply to the cable type and length.

10BASE-T network

	Connection	UTP cable used	Max.
			length
	Using the cascade port	Category 3 or better	100 m
		UTP straight cable
Switch to other
switches or hubs
	Using a 100BASE TX/	Category 3 or better
			100 m
	10BASE-T port	UTP crossover cable*
Switch to 10BASE-T node (PC, etc.)		Category 3 or better	100 m
		UTP straight cable
This product to 10BASE-TX MAU		Category 3 or better	100 m
		UTP straight cable

100BASE-TX network

	Connection	UTP cable used	Max.
			length
	Using the cascade port	Category 5 or	100 m
		better UTP straight cable
Switch to other
switches or hubs
	Using a 100BASE TX/	Category 5 or
			100 m
	10BASE-T port	better UTP crossover cable*
Switch to 100BASE-TX node (PC, etc.)		Category 5 or	100 m
		better UTP straight cable
Switch to 100BASE-TX MAU		Category 5 or	100 m
		better UTP straight cable

*Use a straight cable when connecting the switch's cascade port to the cascade port of another switch or hub (refer to the other switch or hub's manual to check the cascade port).

The following restrictions apply when using a repeater hub or dual speed hub in a network. Failure to observe these may result in network connection failure.

•Number of levels for cascade connection 100BASE-TX - - - Up to two levels 10BASE-T - - - - - Up to four levels

•Cable length between this product and node (PC, etc.) for cascade connection 100BASE-TX - - - 205 m or less

10BASE-T - - - - - 500 m or less

Use a switch to add a hub or extend the distance regardless of the above restrictions.

e.g. When four 10BASE-T repeater hubs are stacked in a cascade configuration, using a switch allows you to connect another four hubs.
