Remote Connections with Fiber Cable

Fiber optic technology allows for longer cabling than any other media type. A 1000BASE-LX SFP transceiver link can connect to a site up to 5 km away. This allows the TigerSwitch 100 to serve as a collapsed backbone, providing direct connectivity for a widespread LAN. A Gigabit SFP transceiver can also be used for a high-speed connection between floors in the same building, or to connect to other buildings in a campus setting. The figure below illustrates a TigerSwitch 10/100 connecting multiple segments with fiber cable.
