4 Cabling the AC 800F
4-41
Example for a network with three nodes:
1 network concentrator 5/9 slots
3 10BaseFL cables
3 10BaseFL modules
3 10BaseFL transceivers
3 AUI cables
3 clips TV 83xF
With a 19-slot network concentrator it is possible to connect more nodes. Moreover,
the network concentrators can be cascaded. Ready-made 10BaseFL cables are used
for the network described here. Ready-made cables are deliverable in lengths of up to
100 m. If you should need longer cables, observe the information given in Sections
4.2.10.3 and 4.2.10.4.
Cable the network concentrators as shown in the illustration. Observe the operating
instructions for the individual components. Ground every AUI cable shield as
described in Section 4.2.8.3. If the available mounting depth permits you can also
plug the 10BaseFL transceivers directly to the AUI module of the AC 800F. In this
case no AUI cables are needed.
