If you are installing new cabling for data applications, it is recommended that you For lobe cabling from the telecommunications closet to the wall outlet, it is recommended that
For backbone cabling, it is recommended that
Number Of Attaching Devices
A Token Ring network supports up to 255 attaching devices or nodes on a single network when using 150 Ohm shielded media (type 1, 1A, 2, or 2A). When cable segments in the network are 100 or 120 Ohm, this number is decreased to 132 (72
