depending on the topology these are the maximum end-to-end distances
                     wire gauge (ft)
topology        22       24       26
daisy chain     -        -       600 
backbone      1500      1000     600
3 branch 
pasive star    500       333     200
4 branch
pasive star   375        250     150

this info comes from the Phonenet connector users guide
