6
Maximum Distance
The maximum operating distance of the fiber optic ports on the AT-FS705E
FC and AT-FS706E FC Ethernet switches is 2 kilometers (1.25 miles). Cable
lengths that exceed this limit can result in poor or erratic network
performance.
Note
The fiber optic port on the network device that you intend to connect to
the AT-FS705E FC or AT-FS706E FC Ethernet switch must have the
same operating characteristics as the fiber optic port on the switch. For
example, the maximum operating distance and operating wavelength of
the end node’s fiber optic port should be the same as the switch’s fiber
optic port. For the technical specifications of the fiber optic port on the
switch, refer to “Technical Specifications” on page 24.
