Remote Connection with Fiber Cable
Fiber optic technology allows for longer cabling than any other media type.
A 100BASE-FX multimode fiber (MMF) link can run up to 2 km, and a
100BASE-FX single-mode fiber (SMF) link can run as far as 20 km. This
allows the switch to serve as a collapsed backbone, providing direct
connectivity for a widespread LAN.
The 100BASE-FX (SMF) slide-in module or 1000BASE-ZX GBIC
transceiver can be used to interconnect remote network segments.
The figure below illustrates this switch connecting to a remote segment
with fiber cable.
