TB14 and TB14H 10Mb Media Converters Installation and User Guide (09/04)
3.5 Calculating Overall Segment Distance
Important Note: Special consideration must be given to maximum cable segment lengths of a Magnum TB14 and TB14H Media Converter. It is recommended that IEEE 802.3 specifications for overall maximum segment distances be adhered to in order to maintain optimum network performance. (See also Technical Specs, Maximum Standard Ethernet Segment Distances, Section 1.1 of this manual.)
When installing the Magnum TB14s Media Converter, it is important to consider the combined overall segment length of both of the attached media types. The overall segment length is calculated by adding together the segment lengths on both sides of the Magnum Media Converters. Cable segment length on each side of the Media Converter is measured as a percentage of the maximum allowable standard media distance for the given media type. The percentages, when added together, must not exceed 100%.
