Planning the Fabric
TCP / IP
•Maximum Cable Lengths:
HF1 (copper): The maximum distance between two nodes or between a node and a
switch is 60 ft. (2 standard cable lengths are sold and supported: 35 ft. and 60 ft.)
TCP/IP supports up to four HF1 switches connected in series with a maximum cable length of 60 ft. between the switches and 60 ft. between switches and nodes.
HF2 (fibre): The maximum distance is 200m (4 standard cable lengths are sold and
supported: 2m, 16m, 50m and 200m).
TCP/IP supports up to four HF2 switches connected in series with a maximum cable length of 200m between the switches and 200m between switches and nodes.
TCP/IP supports up to 4 hybrid HF1/HF2 switches connected in series with a maximum cable length of 60 ft. between copper ports and 200m between fibre ports.
