INSTALLATION

Connecting 100BASE-FX Ports

TigerSwitch 100M fiber modules are equipped with either SC or ST connectors. Connect one end of a fiber optic cable to the appropriate fiber connector on the front panel of the TigerSwitch 100M, and the other end to the connector on the other device.

1.The100BASE-FX ports require 50/125 or 62.5/125 ∝ core multimode fiber optic cable with an SC or ST connector at each end.

2.Maximum fiber distance depends upon the transmission mode. In full-duplex mode, the maximum length of a fiber cable segment is 2 km (1.24 mi.); in half-duplex mode, it is 412 meters (0.25 mi). (See the “Maximum 100BASE-T Cable Distance” chart on page 3-10.)

3.The TigerSwitch 100 features Flow Control to prevent frame loss due to port saturation. If Flow Control is enabled for a 100BASE-FX port operating in half-duplex mode, the cabling distance from that port is limited to 180 m. (See “Port Configuration” in Chapter 4 for further information regarding Flow Control.)
