2. SITE CONSIDERATIONS

The site for the LANMaster T8 8-Port Ethernet Hub w/SIC Slot must
provide:

•

AC power outlet for each LANMaster T8 8-Port Ethernet
Hub w/SIC Slot

•

Adequate ventilation

•

Standard environmental conditions

•

Isolation from electrical noise, including radio transmitters
and broadband amplifiers, motors, high power electrical
lines, or fluorescent light fixtures.

Additionally:

•

The twisted pair cables should not run in the same conduit
with power line cables.

•

Phone lines should be separated from data cables.

•

Flat or “silver satin” wires should not be used.

•

If using Slide-in Card (SIC) connection between LANMaster
T8 Hubs, the maximum cable distances are:

Fiber Optic

2000 meters

10Base5

500 meters

10Base2

185 meters

10BaseT

100 meters

And:

•

Since the LANMaster T8 8-Port Ethernet Hub w/SIC Slot
functions as an Ethernet repeater, the entire LANMaster T8
8-Port Ethernet Hub w/SIC Slot installation should comply
with the IEEE Ethernet 802.3 specification.

•

RJ-45 connected cables should be configured as crossover
or straight through according to installation requirements.
