Ethernet 10Mbps Configuration Rules

Page 14 highlights

3Com recommends that the cable (B) between the Fast Ethernet hubs is no longer than 5m (16.4ft). This allows the maximum hub-to-workstation cable length (A or C) of 100m (328ft). Figure 3 Configuration Rules and Example of a Fast Ethernet (100Mbps) Network Ethernet (10Mbps) Configuration Rules You can connect a maximum of four Ethernet (10Mbps) hubs in series between workstations, or between a workstation and a non-repeater piece of equipment (such as a switch). Each cable must not exceed 100m (328ft). An example is shown in Figure 4. Figure 4 Example of an Ethernet (10Mbps) Network 14
