Maximum Station-to-Station Cabling Distances
When you prepare your site for network connections to the switch router, consider the distance limitations for each signal type and the cabling required for each type of interface. Additional equipment needed might include transceivers, modems, channel service units (CSUs) or data service units (DSUs). You might need connections not provided by service providers, such as a network termination unit (NTU) for T1, E1, DS3, and E3 port adapters.
The length of your networks and the distances between connections depends on the type of signal, the signal speed, and the transmission media (the type of cabling used to transmit the signals). For example, multimode fiber-optic cable has a greater channel capacity than unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cabling.
 |
Note The distances and rate limits in this appendix are the IEEE-recommended maximum speeds and distances for signaling. However, you can get good results at speeds and distances far greater than these if you understand and can compensate for the electrical problems that might arise. Do so at your own risk. |
Networking standards set recommended maximum distances between stations using fiber-optic and UTP cable. The maximum distances for network segments and connections depend on the type of transmission cable used; for example, unshielded twisted-pair (UTP), foil twisted-pair (FTP), single-mode, or multimode fiber-optic cable.
Table A-5 lists maximum station-to-station cabling distances and cable types for port adapters and interface modules used in ATM and Layer 3 systems.

GBIC Cable Distances and Modal Bandwidths
A GBIC has two pinouts: receive and transmit. The connectors are multimode fiber or single-mode fiber. Table A-6 lists the cable distances and modal bandwidth for GBICs.

Fiber-Optic Power Levels
Table A-7 lists fiber-optic power levels for port adapters and interface modules used in ATM and Layer 3 systems. To attach long reach port adapters or interface modules using single-mode fiber, measure the power level of the transmitter and adjust it by using optical attenuators.
 |
Caution Add a 10 dB attenuator at the interface to adjust the power level, or the transmitter overdrives the receiver and introduces data errors. |
