3.2.2 Cable performance comparisons
(1) Optical fiber cable
(a) Overall distance
The overall distance (30km) does not differ according to the optical fiber cable.
(b) Distance between stations
1) SI optical fiber cable
: Compatible, : Partial change required, × : Incompatible
*1 When the distance between stations does not satisfy the MELSECNET/H specifications, either change the type of optical
fiber cable, or install a gateway station midway along existing cables.
*2 When the distance between stations does not satisfy the MELSECNET/H specifications, use at a communication speed of
10 Mbps, change the type of optical fiber cable, or install a gateway station midway along existing cables.
