Note: If you exceed the limits for the number of transceivers or total wire

distance, you can add one Free Topology Transceiver (FTT) physical layer

repeater to connect two segments and double the overall system capability.

The second type of cable is 16 AWG, 1 twisted pair (1P), stranded conductor

(STR), tinned copper (TNC), PVC insulation, PVC jacket, unshielded, plenum

FT6, CSA 600V, and UL 300V.

In a Bus topology, the maximum wire length is 2,700 m (8,858 ft).

In a Free topology, the maximum wire length is 400 m (1,312 ft) node-to-node and

500 m (1,640 ft) total wire length.

The maximum stub length on a TP/FT-10 channel is 3 m (10 ft).
