EB/DNET-FOG

The backbone side of the EXTEND-A-BUS must adhere to standard ARCNET® cabling rules. Companion AI ARCNET active hubs are available for extending the backbone cabling. Hubs are cascaded to achieve the maximum distance: up to 6 km when using coaxial cabling and ten active hubs or up to 4.8 km when using a fiber optic backbone and two active hubs.
