In some network environments, you might need to interconnect two media
converters in what is referred to as a back-to-back topology. In this topology,
the converters are used to extend the distance of the network and to convert
the cabling from twisted pair to fiber optic, and back again.
Figure 6 illustrates an example of a back-to-back topology. Two AT-MC302
media converters are used to interconnect an AT-8224XL Fast Ethernet
Switch and an Ethernet hub.
