| Description |
|
|
| “FB”indicates “fiber backbone.” The optimal |
| use for this version of fiber Ethernet is as a fiber |
| backbone. |
|
|
| “FP” indicates “fiber passive” network. This |
| standard specifies a fiber optic connection |
| method that passively splits the fiber optic light |
| from each station among all the others, entirely |
| within the optical domain. |
|
|
| “FL” indicates “fiber link.” A superset of the |
| 1987 IEEE FOIRL standard, the |
| standard ensures compatibility between FOIRL |
| and |
| the more limiting FOIRL parameters if you |
| interoperate with |
