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 this example, the length of Segment X is 72m (216 ft). This is 39% of the
maximum allowable distance for 10BASE2 media (185 m) [72/185 x 100% = 39%]. The
length of Segment Y is 55m (165 ft). This is 55% of the maximum allowable distance
for UTP 10BASE-T media (100 m) [55/100 x 100% = 55%]. The total of the two
percentages (39% + 55%) is 94%, which is allowable.
Note 1: Where more than one media converter is used in one segment run, the
