Figure 2-6. Network with 6 Concentrators
In this example, the path between transceivers attaching Concentrators A
and F has the greatest fiber equivalent distance of 4440 meters (2200 + (4
* 560) = 4440). Because this distance exceeds the maximum of 4200
meters, this configuration is illegal and results in improper network
operation.
