A maximum of 8 Link Adapters can be used in this configuration.
Maximum total cable length is 10 km. Follow the instructions contained in 2-4
Crystal Optical Fiber Cable (AGF) for calculating the length of AGF cable.
Be sure to turn power off before disconnecting a cable. If an optical fiber
cable is disconnected while power is on in the Link Adapters and CPU, data
may be retained in the Slave.
