About ethernet
The GE Unity Network uses Ethernet for device-to-device
communications. This local area network links all patient monitors,
clinical information centers, and other GE equipment throughout the
hospital. Depending on the construction of the hospital, thick-net, thin-
net, or CAT-5 twisted pair cabling is used. The Solar 8000M/i is designed
to be used with twisted-pair cabling. Consult GE when trying to interface
with either thick-net or thin-net cabling. The real-time GE Unity
Network operates at 10 Mbps, half-duplex.
Twisted pair
Twisted pair is the most popular cabling because it is easy to install and
flexible to work with. It uses the star topology with a switch as the hub of
the segment. A maximum of 100 meters or 328 feet is the longest length
of twisted pair cable allowed. The maximum number of devices on the GE
Unity Network is 1,000.
