FCC Regulations
10BASE-FL Ethernet
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class A digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at the user’s own expense.

CABLE SPECIFICATIONS
The 5-4-3 Rule applies separately to each collision domain. NOTE: A
collision domain is any Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection
(CSMA/CD) network in which a collision will occur if two attached stations
transmit at the same time. A segment is the cable connection between two
network interfaces.

USING THE 5-4-3 RULE:
Maximum Cable Length:
Maximum number network connections:
Minimum distance between connections:
Terminate 10BASE-2 cable at one end using a 50 ohm terminator and at the other end
using a 50 ohm terminator grounded to earth ground.
The 5-4-3 Rule allows no more than five segments in any 10-Mb/sec
Ethernet collision domain, no more than four repeaters (hubs) and no
more than three populated segments (10Base-2 or 10BASE-5 coaxial-
cable installations).
0.5 meters (1.6 feet)
To determine the size of the collision domain by assigning segment
numbers to cable connections, determine the two network devices in a
transmission path that are separated by the greatest number of segments.
Define a segment path between the network devices by labeling the
cable connection to the first device “segment 1” and numbering each
segment in the path to the last network device, up to “segment n” (n =
total number of segments ≤ 5). Verify that no segment path in the entire
collision domain contains more than n ≤ 5 segments.
