Fiber 80km (*)
(*) 80km/200km is the total length of the return path, i.e. the actual distances between
the 2 servers connected via the fiber link is half of this value, i.e. 40 km @ 1485 Mbps.
Note
When reclockers are used, the total delay induced by these reclockers between
2 active servers on the network may not exceed 15 μs.
5.6.4. Starting XNet
1. When all above conditions are fulfilled and the cabling is correct, turn on the "Server"
