Guideline maximum drop cable length
For best performance it is recommended that drop cables (x) are kept
short. However in some cases it may be necessary to utilise longer
drops, in this case they should not exceed 6 meters.
 Note:
The maximum cable length of the Micro-C network backbone
is 100 meters. For larger systems a network bridge should be
considered or use Mini-C cable for the network backbone which
would allow a maximum of 200 meters.
Backbone length is calculated by adding cable lengths a, b and c as
shown below.
 Note:
Cable lengths a & c should not exceed 6 meters.
