8.2.4 Long-distance distributed configuration

If the distance between network segments in a large-scale network system exceeds the 10BASE5
transmission distance limit (500 m), you can connect network segments with optical repeaters to
establish a network system whose inter-repeater distance is 2 km.
When a multiport transceiver is used,
the maximum overall AUI cable length
between a coaxial cable and terminal
is 50 m.
The use of a multiport transceiver
permits up to 2-stage cascade connections.
Up to four units of repeaters or hubs
can be installed between two terminals.
