2-4Remote Connections with Fiber Cable

Fiber optic technology allows for longer cabling than any other media type.

A 1000BASE-SX (MMF) link can connect to a site up to 550 meters away,

a 1000BASE-LX (SMF) link up to 5 km, and a 1000BASE-ZX link up to

100 km. This allows a switch stack to serve as a collapsed backbone,

providing direct connectivity for a widespread LAN.

1000BASE-LX or 1000BASE-ZX SFP transceivers can be used to

interconnect remote network segments, or can be used to provide a link to

other buildings in a campus setting. 1000BASE-SX SFP transceivers can be

used for Gigabit fiber connections between floors in the same bu ilding.

The figure below illustrates three TigerStack 10G switch stacks

interconnecting multiple segments with fiber cable.
