TigerSwitch 16 Model SMC6516FF
This model contains two 100BASE-FX ports. When configured
for full-duplex operation, these 100BASE-FX ports can be con-
nected to other devices with up to 2 km of fiber cable. This
allows the user to take advantage of a significantly higher maxi-
mum cable run distance than that available for other media.
The following figure shows the 100BASE-FX ports on an
SMC6516FF switch connected to the 100BASE-FX ports on other
TigerSwitch units, making it the central link in a 200 Mbps
network backbone. The 100BASE-TX ports on the other
switches, also configured in full duplex mode, are dedicated to
servers. The aggregate bandwidth of the network is 1.28 Gbps.
