2637.0. "DEFMM to DEFLM what length?" by MEO78A::BARNHOORN (Barney to his friends) Mon Aug 14 1995 04:17

    
    
    What distances does the DECrepeater 900FP and DEFLM support?
    
    A Customer wants to replace existing Fibre Optic DEC LANBridge 150s
    with DEChub 900 with 900EF switches, and 900FP and at the remote ends
    DEFLM.  
    
    The existing lengths of this fibre optic runs are approx 1.5 kms. 
    
    The Network Products Guide and Open DECconnect Applications Guide don't
    seem to mention maximum supported lengths.
    
    Thanks
    
    Mark.

2637.1	Support 2Km.	NETCAD::TOWNLEY		`Mon Aug 14 1995 10:13`	1
	The DEFLM and DEFMM support up to 2 km per the 10BaseFL specification.
2637.2	900FP supports 2km 10baseFL links	NETCAD::BATTERSBY		`Mon Aug 14 1995 10:13`	6
	Mark, the 900FP is a 10baseFL compliant product, so it supports 2km links of the recommended fiber cable. I'm not sure about the DEFLM whether it does 10baseFL or not. Perhaps someone else will have the answer on the DEFLM. Bob

2637.4	DEFLM is 10baseFL too	VAXRIO::ROLF	Vaporware Design Specialist	`Fri Aug 25 1995 16:58`	4
	I was told by someone in engineering some time ago (when I had the same question) that the DEFLM is also 10baseFL compliant, hence 2Km. Rolf
