Fiber optic technology allows for longer cabling than any other media type. A
1000BASE-SX (MMF) link can connect to a site up to 550 meters away, a
1000BASE-LX (SMF) link up to 10 km, a 1000BASE-LH link up to 80 km, and a
100BASE-FX (SMF) link up to 20 km. This allows the switch to serve as a
collapsed backbone, providing direct connectivity for a widespread LAN.
The figure below illustrates the switch connecting multiple segments with fiber
cable.
