distance for UTP 10BASE-T media (100 m) [55/100 x 100% = 55%]. The total of the
two percentages (39% + 55%) is 94%, which is allowable.
Note 1: Where more than one media converter is used in one
segment run, the percentages for all of the cabling lengths in the run
must be added together and must not exceed 100%.
Note 2: If the total segment distance calculation result is greater than
100%, consider using a Magnum Repeater so that each cable type can
be 100% of its maximum allowed length.
Note 3: The maximum number of 10Mb Media Converters that can
be used in series is three. The cumulative noise from four or more
units together causes packet alignment errors.
