If your network consists of several AT-FS705E FC and AT-FS706E FC
switches, then you will probably want to connect them together to form an
integrated network. Here the fiber optic ports can be extremely useful. You
can use the ports to create a fiber optic backbone. With a maximum operating
distance of 2 kilometers (1.25 miles), the ports can be used to connect together
switches that are physically far apart. In the topology shown in Figure 5, two
AT-FS705E FC switches and one AT-FS706E FC switch have been
interconnected using the fiber optic ports.
