5.5.2 Installing the MC2 Cables
To set up an MC2 interconnect, use the BN39B-04 (4-meter; 13.1-foot) or
BN39B-10 (10-meter; 32.8-foot) link cables for virtual hub or standard hub
configurations without optical converters.
If optical converters are used, use the BN39B-01 (1-meter; 3.3-foot) link
cable and the BN34R-10 (10-meter; 32.8-foot) or BN34R-31 (31-meter;
101.7-foot) fiber-optic cable.
