100Base-FX
The IEEE standard defines how to transmit Fast Ethernet 100Mbps data using multi-mode
or single fiber optic cable


100Base-TX
Also known as 802.3u. The IEEE standard defines how to transmit Fast Ethernet 100Mbps
using Cat.5 UTP/STP cable. The 100Base-TX standard is backward compatible with the
10Mbps 10-BaseT standard.


1000Base-SX
Also known as 802.3z. The IEEE standard defines how to transmit gigabit Ethernet data
using multi-mode fiber optic cables. This standard allows transmission distance of 550
meter, which is more than 5 times longer than the 100-meter limitation of 1000Base-T. The
1000Base-SX cannot run in 100Mbps mode.


1000Base-LX
The IEEE standard defines how to transmit gigabit Ethernet data using single mode fiber
optic cables. This standard allows transmission distance of 5km or more using single mode
fiber. The 1000Base-LX cannot run in 100Mbps mode.


1000Base-T
Also known 802.3ab standard. The IEEE standard defines how to transmit Gigabit data
through the use of Cat.5 UTP/STP cable. The 1000Base-T can run in 10/100/1000Mbps
