•
Use on multimode or single-mode fiber.
•
Maximum lengths for multimode fiber are as follows:
—
62.5 um fiber: 440 m
—
50 um fiber: 550 m
•
Maximum length for single-mode fiber is 9 um: 5 km.
•
Uses 8B/10B encoding with simple NRZ.
1000BaseSX Short Wave GE
•
The IEEE 1000BaseSX uses short wavelength optics over a pair of multimode fiber
stands. The specifications are as follows:
•
Uses short wave (850 nm).
•
Use on multimode fiber.
•
Maximum lengths are as follows:
—
62.5 um: 260 m
—
