The 100BASE-FX specification requires the fiberoptic cabling which is more
expensive than the conventional UTP cabling. However, it has a definite
appeal to widespread LANs where cost of wiring is less important than the
distance it delivers to Ethernet LANs-400 meters for half-duplex segments
and 2 kilometers for full-duplex segments.
The 100BASE-FX port requires one pair of 62.5/125 micron fiber-optic
cable. It services distance of up to 400 meters and supports full or half-
duplex operation. It is an ideal solution for backbone connections.
