Restrictions on Daisy Chain Cable Lengths

The maximum length of a daisy chain is dependent upon the synchronous data rate. Table 8 lists the maximum cumulative daisy chain cable lengths for various baud rates. For example, to run a synchronous line at 10 megabaud, the total length of all daisy chain cables for that synchronous line may not exceed 30 feet. Thus, a single T1 Modem Bank could be placed 30 feet from the EPC/X host adapter, or six T1 Modem Bank units could be spaced at 5 foot intervals and still operate at 10 megabaud.

Table 8			Daisy Chain Cable Length vs. Baud Rate

	Baud Rate		Maximum Cable Length
			(24AWG Twisted Pair, 12 pF/foot)

	0	- 460K	2000 feet
	0	- 1.2M	1000 feet
	0	- 2.5M	300 feet
	0	- 5M	120 feet
	0	- 10M	30 feet
