...that match your cables and equipment, the correct pinning, and the number of switch positions you need. • Remember that an ABC switch has just two positions, not three.) You can mix several types of switches in the same chassis. • Step 2: • ...

...long haul. Depending on cable type, FDDI networks can stretch up to 100 km in circumference. And FDDI speed can be improved. If the second ring is used as its own network, both rings can operate individually at speeds as fast as 200 Mbps. • This fea...

...and length of the cable used on both the RS-232 and the RS-422/485 side can affect how power is dissipated. Because lower-quality and higher-gauge cable can cause power loss, a good-quality 24 AWG cable is recommended. Also RS-232 runs longer ...

...Fibre optic cable is becoming one of the fastest-growing transmission mediums for both new cabling installations and upgrades, including backbone, horizontal, and even desktop applications. Fibre optic cable is favored for applications t...
