[3] Configuration of a large-scale network

By connecting several 10BASE5 network segments using repeaters, you can construct a network consisting of several hundred devices.

Coaxial cable (Maximum cable length: 500 m)

AUI cable

(maximum cable length: 50 m) Multi-porttransceiver

Repeater

-A maximum of 50m total cable length (using an AUI cable) can be used from one end of the coaxial cable to a terminal device, using a multi-port transceiver.

-Multi-port transceivers can be cascaded up to two layers deep.

-Up to four repeaters and hubs can be placed between any two
