Are you referring to the CTP-100T, which is a twisted-pair to to thin
net media converter. (Not a transceiver or a repeater...) The
documented limit for the thin-net transceivers are somewhere
around 29...
We haven't had any major problems with the CTP-100T, but have seen an
above average number of runt packets reported from a segmnet with 8
nodes on it... No major loss of performance yet despite the excess
runt packets.
