max. 100 m between network partici pants
(corresponding to specifications for Ethernet net-
works, ISO/IEC 11801 and ANSI/TIA/EIA-568-B).
– Wire cross section for max. line length:
22 AWG (for 100 m link length, based on
ISO/IEC 11801).
Note
If installation has not been carried out correctly and if high
baud rates are used, data transmission errors may occur
as a result of signal refl ections and attenuations.
