Single-mode fiber-optic cable is used in 100Base-FX or 1000Base-SX or 10 GBase-ER or 10 GBase-LR? eric 11-December-2007 12:07:07 PMComments The Ethernet physical layer is the physical layer component of the Ethernet standard. The Ethernet physical layer evolved over a considerable time span and encompasses quite a few physical media interfaces and several magnitudes of speed. The speed ranges from 3 Mbit/s to 10 Gbit/s in speed while the physical medium can range from bulky coaxial cable to twisted pair to optical fiber. In general, network protocol stack software will work identically on most of the following types. The following sections provide a brief summary of all the official Ethernet media types (section numbers from the IEEE 802.3-2002 standard are parenthesized). In addition to these official standards, many vendors have implemented proprietary media types for various reasons—often to support longer distances over fiber optic cabling. Many Ethernet adapters and switch ports support multiple speeds, using autonegotiation to set the speed and duplex for the best values supported by both connected devices. If auto-negotiation fails, a multiple speed device will sense the speed used by its partner, but will assume half-duplex. A 10/100 Ethernet port supports 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX. A 10/100/1000 Ethernet port supports 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T.

Name Standard Description 100BASE-T A term for any of the three standards for 100 Mbit/s Ethernet over twisted pair cable up to 100 meters long. Includes 100BASE-TX, 100BASE-T4 and 100BASE-T2. All of them use a star topology. 100BASE-TX 802.3 (24) 4B5B MLT-3 coded signaling, CAT5 copper cabling with two twisted pairs. 100BASE-T4 802.3 (23) 8B6T PAM-3 coded signaling, CAT3 copper cabling (as used for 10BASE-T installations) with four twisted pairs (uses all four pairs in the cable). Now obsolete, as Cat-5 cabling is the norm. Limited to half-duplex. 100BASE-T2 802.3 (32) No products exist. PAM-5 coded signaling, CAT3 copper cabling with two twisted pairs, star topology. Supports full-duplex. It is functionally equivalent to 100BASE-TX, but supports old telephone cable. However, special sophisticated digital signal processors are required to handle encoding schemes required, making this option fairly expensive. 100BASE-FX 802.3 (24) 4B5B NRZI coded signaling, two strands of multi-mode optical fiber. Maximum length is 400 meters for half-duplex connections (to ensure collisions are detected) or 2 kilometers for full-duplex. 100BASE-SX TIA 100 Mbit/s Ethernet over multi-mode fiber. Maximum length is 300 meters. Unlike 100BASE-FX using lasers as light sources, 100BASE-SX uses LEDs, so it is cheaper. 100BASE-BX10 802.3 100 Mbit/s Ethernet bidirectionally over a single strand of single-mode optical fiber. A multiplexer is used to split transmit and receive signals into different wavelengths allowing them to share the same fiber.

Championed by only HP, 100VG-AnyLAN (as was the marketing name) was the earliest in the market. It needed four pairs of Cat-3 cables. Now obsolete (802.12 has been "inactive" since 1997).

A long-haul solution. 1000BASE-CX 802.3 8B10B NRZ coded signaling, balanced shielded twisted pair (up to 25 m) over special copper cable. Predates 1000BASE-T and rarely used. 1000BASE-BX10 802.3 up to 10 km.
