VOL-2008 Mini-Hub
To calculate other distances for
fiber 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 fiber 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
specified by the IEEE 802.3 standard.
