Pick one type of cabling and consistently obey the protocol for that type throughout your network If you mix the rules for example using two repeater links permitted by 10Base2 with the 100 nodes per segment permitted under the extended length option your network may have an excessive number of errors or may not operate at all If your network uses standard 185 meter cable segments all thin Ethernet cable segments in the network can be up to 185 meters long Five standard length cable segments may be connected in line using commercially available repeaters The total network span with five standard length segments is 925 meters 3 035 feet No more than four repeaters can be on the signal path from one node to any other node The standard 185 meter segment length is recommended because it allows you to use common thin coax Ethernet components which conform to the IEEE standard If your network is using extended length 300 meter cable segments all thin coax Ethernet cable segments in the network can be a maximum of 300 meters long Three 300 meter cable segments may be connected in line using repeaters The total network span with three extended length segments is 900 meters 2 953 feet No more than two repeaters can be in the signal path from one node to any other node Trumpcard Ethernet LAN Hardware Installation If you are using extended length segments all repeaters and transceivers must be designed for 300 meter operation In
