OPTIONAL 100BASE-FX MODULE
The 100BASE-FX specification requires the fiberoptic cabling which is more expensive than the conventional UTP cabling. However, it has a definite appeal to widespread LANs where cost of wiring is less important than the distance it delivers to Ethernet LANs-400 meters for half-duplex segments and 2 kilometers for full-duplex segments.
The 100BASE-FX port requires one pair of 62.5/125 micron fiber-optic cable. It services distance of up to 400 meters and supports full or half- duplex operation. It is an ideal solution for backbone connections.
