*1 Allen-Bradley product manufactured by Rockwell Automation, Inc. For details of the product, contact Rockwell Automation, Inc.
*2 The applicable destination to connect the twisted pair cable depends on the configuration of the Ethernet network system.
Connect to the applicable Ethernet module, hub, transceiver, or other system equipment according to the Ethernet network
system.
Use the cable, connector, or hub that meets the IEEE802.3 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX standard.
*3 The length between the hub and node.
The maximum length depends on the Ethernet equipment you use.
When a repeater hub is used, the number of connectable personal computers is as follows.
• 10BASE-T: Max. 4 nodes for a cascade connection (500 m)
• 100BASE-TX: Max. 2 nodes for a cascade connection (205 m)
For the cascade connection between the switching hubs, there is no theoretical limit to the number of cascades.
For the limit, contact the switching hub manufacturer.
*4 GT25-W and GT2505-V do not support the option device.
