1000BASE-SX /LX / TX Network Guideline

1000BASE-SX

In Multi-mode, the fiber optic segment cannot exceed 220m (62.5/125m) or 500m (50/125m) in length.

1000BASE-LX

In Multi-mode, the fiber optic segment cannot exceed 550m(62.5/125m), 550m(50/125m) in length.

In single mode the fiber optic segment cannot exceed 10km(9/125m).

1000BASE-TX

The maximum length of a 1000Base-TX cable segment is 100 meters (328 feet).

The recommended cable type is EIA/TIA Category 5 enhanced untwisted-pair with 4 pairs.

Network Planning

Using a switch, such as a 4-Slot Modular Switch, can expand network topologies and enhance network performance.

Each port on a switch connects to a separate network with its own collision domain. Separating networks with these switches allows you to expand 10Base-T networks past the four-hub limit and expand 100Base-TX networks past the one or two hub limit.

These switches also filter incoming traffic. On standard hubs and repeaters, any data received on a port is forwarded to all of the other ports. On switches, data received on one port is forwarded only to the port of the destination device, and if the traffic is local, the data is not forwarded at all. Also, switches can forward multiple data transaction at once.

To expand your network topology or enhance network performance, use the Max Switch II as collapsed backbone or to increase file server performance, to segment large networks, to interconnect 10Mbps networks with 100Mbps networks, or to overcome the limitations of 10Base-T and 100Base-TX networks.
