2. SITE CONSIDERATIONS
The site for the LANMaster T8 8-Port Ethernet Hub w/SIC Slot must
provide:
AC power outlet for each LANMaster T8 8-Port Ethernet
Hub w/SIC Slot
Adequate ventilation
Standard environmental conditions
Isolation from electrical noise, including radio transmitters
and broadband amplifiers, motors, high power electrical
lines, or fluorescent light fixtures.
Additionally:
The twisted pair cables should not run in the same conduit
with power line cables.
Phone lines should be separated from data cables.
Flat or silver satin wires should not be used.
If using Slide-in Card (SIC) connection between LANMaster
T8 Hubs, the maximum cable distances are:
Fiber Optic 2000 meters
10Base5 500 meters
10Base2 185 meters
10BaseT 100 meters
And:
Since the LANMaster T8 8-Port Ethernet Hub w/SIC Slot
functions as an Ethernet repeater, the entire LANMaster T8
8-Port Ethernet Hub w/SIC Slot installation should comply
with the IEEE Ethernet 802.3 specification.
RJ-45 connected cables should be configured as crossover
or straight through according to installation requirements.
