VOL-2008 Mini-Hub
To calculate other distances for
ber use the following formula:
Fiber distance (m) - 320 UTP length
(m) x 1.112 (all units in meters). The
VOL-2008 Mini-Hub is a Class II
repeater. The following diagram
illustrates some operating distances
on ber and copper.

Applications
Appendix A – Collision Domain
and Distance
In shared fast Ethernet, the collision
domain limits the operating distance of
the network. In any collision domain,
the round trip propagation delay must
not exceed 512 bit times. Each bit
time in fast Ethernet is 10 ns. The
following table gives typical delays as
specied by the IEEE 802.3 standard.
