Remote Connections with Fiber Cable
Fiber optic technology allows for longer cabling than any other media type.
A 100 Mbps multimode fiber (MMF) link can run up to 2 km (at full
duplex), and a 100 Mbps single-mode fiber (SMF) link can run as far as 10
km. A 1000BASE-LX SMF Gigabit link can also connect to a site up to 5
km away. This allows the TigerStack 100 to serve as a collapsed backbone,
providing direct connectivity for a widespread LAN. The 100BASE-FX
SMF module can be used to interconnect remote Fast Ethernet segments.
While a 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 TigerStack 100 stack connecting
multiple segments with fiber cable.
