Making Network Connections
The 100BASE-FX fiber optic ports operate only at 100 Mbps, full duplex. You can
run a single-mode fiber link up to 20 kilometers (12.43 miles). However, note that
power budget constraints must also be considered when calculating the maximum
cable length for your specific environment.
The 1000BASE-SX and 1000BASE-LX fiber optic ports operate at 1 Gbps full
duplex, with auto-negotiation of flow control. The maximum length for fiber optic
cable operating at Gigabit speed will depend on the fiber type as listed under "1000
Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Collision Domain" on page 2-7.
