Important Note:  Special consideration must be given to maximum cable 

segment lengths of a Magnum TB14 and TB14H Media Converter.  It is recommended 

that IEEE 802.3 specifications for overall maximum segment distances be adhered to in 

order to maintain optimum network performance.  (See also Technical Specs, Maximum 

Standard Ethernet Segment Distances, Section 1.1 of this manual.) 

When installing the Magnum TB14s Media Converter, it is important to consider the 

combined overall segment length of  both of the attached media types.  The overall 

segment length is calculated by adding together the segment lengths on both sides of the 

Magnum Media Converters. Cable segment length on each side of the Media Converter 

is measured as a percentage of the maximum allowable standard media distance for the 

given media type.  The percentages, when added together, must not exceed 100%.
