Remote Connections with Fiber Cable
Fiber optic technology allows for longer cabling than any other
media type (up to 10 kilometers for 100 Mbps single-mode fiber at
full duplex, or up to 5 kilometers for 1 Gbps fiber). The
TigerSwitch can serve as a collapsed backbone, providing direct
connectivity for a widespread LAN. The 100 Mbps single-mode
fiber module can be used to interconnect remote Fast Ethernet
segments. While the Gigabit module can be used for a high-speed
connection between floors in the same building, or to connect to
other buildings in a campus setting. The figure below illustrates a
TigerSwitch 100 stack connecting multiple segments with fiber
cable.
