Connectivity between Fiber and TP Ethernet Media.
Media Distance Formula for Magnum Media Converters:
X% + Y% < 100%
Where X = The segment distance on one side of the Magnum Media Converter
divided by the Standard Maximum Media Distance for that media type, x 100%.
Where Y = The segment length on the other side of the Magnum Media Converter
divided by the Standard Maximum Media Distance for that media cabling type, x 100
A Distance Calculation Example:
Connectivity between ThinNet and TP Ethernet Media.
In the figure shown above, the length of Segment X is 780m (2574 ft). This is
39% of the maximum allowable distance for 10BASE-FL media (2Km) [780/2000 x
