If cable A to B is 10 meters of STP and cable B to C is 150 meters of F/O,
then what is the maximum length of the Cat 5 cable C to D?
Total maximum bit time +512
Less DTE TX to TX -100
Less (2 x CFT converters) -20
Less (10m x 1.112) -11.12
Less (150m x 1.0) -150
Remaining bit time +230.88
Remaining bit time divided by 1.112 (the bit time delay per meter of Cat 5
cable) yields a maximum C to D cable of 207 meters.
