10BASE-FL

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

10BASE-FL is the most commonly used 10BASE-F specification of Ethernet over optical fiber. It replaces the original FOIRL specification, but retains compatibility with FOIRL-based equipment. Maximum segment length values 2000 meters (This length is from node to hub.) Mixing it with FOIRL equipment, maximum segment length reduces to FOIRL's 1000 meters.

The 10BASE-FL standard requires a duplex 62.5/125 µm fiber optic cable for each link. Transmission distances of up to 2 km are possible — as is full-duplex operation
