100BASE-FX

(Redirected from 100BaseFX)

100BASE-FX is a version of fast ethernet over optical fibre. It uses two strands of multimode fibre for receive and transmit. It is also known as the "fiber" version of 100BASE-TX. Maximum length is 400 metres for half-duplex connections (to ensure collisions are detected) or 2 kilometres for full-duplex.

100BASE-FX is not compatible with 10BASE-FL, the 10 MBit/s version over optical fibre. It uses a 1300 nanometer light wavelength.
