Cable Specifications Propagation Delay Propagation delay is the amount of time it takes data to travel from the sending device to the receiving device. Total propagation delay allowed for the network is 256 bit times (2.56 m s) in one direction (5.12 m s round trip). If the total propagation delay between any two nodes on the network exceeds 2.56 m s, then use bridges or other devices to further segment the network. Temperature The attenuation of PVC insulated cable varies significantly with

Chapter 3: Installation Requirements and Specifications 3.2 NETWORK CABLE LENGTHS This section details the maximum network cable lengths specified by the IEEE 802.3u standard for a Class I repeater. As stated previously, the physical size of the network is limited primarily by propagation delay. The round trip delay cannot exceed 512 bit times or 5.12 m s. A stack of five SEH hubs or four SEH hubs and one SEHI hub NOTE is equivalent to one repeater. A 100BASE-T network might use all UTP links,
