Understanding a Daisy Chain Connection

To extend fiber optic cable across an even longer distance than is pos­sible with a point-to-point configuration, you can use up to 10
210
s in a daisy chain configuration. In this situation, you use
210
s as fiber optic signal repeaters, amplifying the signal so that it can

travel reliably across a longer distance. Figure 2 shows a daisy chain configuratio n, where multiple
210
s are stacked on top of one another.
