Figure 7: Connection of Two Base Plates through a Fiber Optic Cable
For connecting a fiber optic cable with two approved Hirschmann SPIDER II Giga switches,
the latency between the connector on system bus module in rack A and the connector on
system bus module in rack B must be calculated in accordance with the following formula:

The copper cable latency
and and the fiber optic cable latency must be
calculated as follows:
t = Damping*l/c

Observe the following points when mounting the system bus:
 The maximum latency between processor and communication modules must be
calculated in accordance with
Table 8 observing the distance to the base plates with
processor modules.
Only insert communication modules in base plates, for which such a latency can be
ensured!
 The maximum latency between the two racks with processor modules or with
responsible system bus modules may be increased by 10 µs with respect to a standard
wiring, i.e., using a direct connection with 100 m copper cable at most.
