Remote Connections with Fiber Cable

Figure 2-2. Network Aggregation Plan

Fiber Optic Technology allows for longer cabling than any other media type. A 1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver can be used for a high-speed connection between floors in the same building and a 1000BASE-LX SFP transceiver can be used to connect to other buildings in a campus setting. For long-haul connections, a 1000BASE-LH SFP transceiver can be used to reach another site up to 70 kilometers away.

The figure below illustrates this switch connecting multiple segments with fiber cable.
