If cable A to B is 10 meters of STP and cable B to C is 150 meters of F/O,

then what is the maximum length of the Cat 5 cable C to D?

Total maximum bit time

+512

Less DTE TX to TX

-100

Less (2 x CFT converters) -20

Less (10m x 1.112)

-11.12

Less (150m x 1.0)

-150

Remaining bit time

+230.88

Remaining bit time divided by 1.112 (the bit time delay per meter of Cat 5

cable) yields a maximum C to D cable of 207 meters.
