Segment cable length
2. Check that the segment cable length is not exceeded
The segment cable length is determined by the number of nodes and the cable
cross-section used. Without a repeater, the segment cable length corresponds to
the total cable length.

Segment cable length
3. Compare both values.
If the value determined from the
table is smaller than
the required total cable length
Repeaters divide the total cable length into segments.
Selection example
Based on the given specifications, the following cable lengths/number of repeaters result
for a maximum of 63 nodes:
