Using the 512-Bit Rule
When configuring Fast Ethernet™ networks, use the 512-bit rule to determine
Fiber Cable
masimum cable lengths for each half-duplex collision domair.
MULTIMODE
In a half-duplex network, maximum
cable lengths are determined by the
Fiber Optic Cable Recommended:
Optional:
62.5 / 125 µm multimode fiber

round trip delay limitations of each Fast

To calculate a collision domain
round-trip delay in bit-times, find
the longest path between any two
terminal devices in the collision
domain. Calculate the round trip
delay by multiplying the length of
the cable (in meters) by the delay
per meter (in bit-times (BT)), then
take the sum of all cable delays
plus station (DTE), repeater, and
multi-port media converter port
delays. If the result is less than or
equal to 512 bit-times, the path is
good.
