Enhanced fiber.Fully able to support legacy systems, including Ethernet Ethernet Telecommunications networking protocol introduced by Xerox Corp. in 1979. It was developed as an inexpensive way of sending information quickly between office machines connected together in a single room or building, but it rapidly became a standard computer and Fast Ethernet An earlier name for 100Mbps Ethernet. See 100Base-T. (networking) Fast Ethernet - A version of Ethernet developed in the 1990s(?) which can carry 100 Mbps compared with standard Ethernet's 10 Mbps. It requires upgraded network cards and hubs. , the company's 50-micron GIGAlite multimode fiber An optical fiber with a larger core than singlemode fiber. It is the most commonly used fiber for short distances such as LANs. Light can enter the core at different angles, making it easier to connect the light source to broader light sources such as LEDs. features guaranteed Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. distances up to 750 meters using 850-nm vertical cavil/surface-emitting lasers. Further complementing the enhanced performance parameters at 1 Gbps, the fiber also offers improved performance at 10 Gbps. With the differential mode delay performance of the fiber guaranteed and maintained both before and after the critical cabling process, GIGAlite multimode fiber supports 10-Gbps applications to 150 meters.--Berk-Tek www.rsleads.com/312cn-311 |
