Collapsed Backbone with Fiber Cable

Fiber optic technology allows for a longer cable run distance (up to 2 km in full-duplex) than any other media type. The TigerSwitch 100M, used as a collapsed backbone to interconnect multiple Fast Ethernet segments with fiber cable, is a convenient way to provide direct connectivity for a wide-spread LAN.

The figure below illustrates a TigerSwitch 100M connecting multiple segments with up to 2 km of fiber cable.
