100BASE-FX is a multimode index-gradient optical fiber link. Two 100BASE-FX ports on a Cisco Systems network switch

The 100BASE-FX is set to work with two strands of multimode optical fiber (MMF) per link, one for data transmission, the other for data reception. The fiber used is of the type (62.5 / 125) and this on a wavelength of 1350 nm. It can also operate on two strands of monomode optical fiber (SMF) duplex, fiber type 9/125.

In multimode mode, the length of the wires between two devices is a maximum of 412 meters in "half-duplex" mode and two kilometers in "full-duplex", this limitation being imposed by the time the signal passes through the equipment. network. In monomode, the maximum length varies from 10 to 80km depending on the type of fiber and optics.

The Fast Ethernet standard indicates a rate of 100Mbit / s. Related Articleschange the code
