Cabling Requirements
Table 4-2 shows the maximum communication distances for different types of cables
used between the DECserver and the Ethernet device. Table 4-3 shows the maximum
cable lengths for a number of data rates using DECserver supported line protocols.
The cabling requirements of the DECserver are shown in the following sections.
