[3] Configuration of a large-scale network
By connecting several 10BASE5 network segments using repeaters, you can construct a network con-
sisting of several hundred devices.
An example of a large-scale configuration
Coaxial cable (Maximum cable length: 500 m)
AUI cable
(maximum cable length: 50 m)
Repeater
Multi-port
transceiver
- A maximum of 50m total cable
length (using an AUI cable) can
be used from one end of the
coaxial cable to a terminal
device, using a multi-port
transceiver.
- Multi-port transceivers can be
cascaded up to two layers
deep.
- Up to four repeaters and hubs
can be placed between any two
