Chapter 5: Cable Connection Parameters
5. Cable Connection Parameters
1000BASE-SX/LX networks only support full-duplex mode. The switch-based media converter breaks the twisted-pair and fiber segments’ collision domain to extend the cabling distance.
TP cable limitations: CAT5 and up to 328 feet (100 m)
Table 5-1. Mulltimode fiber cable limitations.
Mode | Multimode Fiber | | Multimode Fiber | |
| 62.5/125 µm | | 50/125 µm | |
| Bandwidth (MHz-km) | Distance | Bandwidth (MHz-km) | Distance |
1000SX (SC/LC) | 160 m | 220 m | 400 | 500 m |
850nm | | | | |
1000LX (SC/LC) | Single-mode fiber 9/125 μm | | | |
1310 nm | Single-mode transceiver 1310 nm: 10 km | | |
