100BASE-TX: Fast Ethernet for Category 5 UTP Ma. Segment Length 100m Cable Type Category 5 UTP cable using 22 or 24 AWG unshielded twisted-pair wire with an impedance of 100 ohms Connectors AT&T 258A RJ-45 connection, EIA/TIA-568B standard 100BASE-FX: Fast Ethernet for Fiber Optic Cabling Max. Segment Length For two switches and using multimode fiber. 412m is allowed. The number is able to increase to 2Km if the link is full-duplex. For repeater connection, the length actually is depending on the type and number of repeaters used. For example, 320m is the maximum network diameter of the repeated segment for one Class II repeater. Cable Type 100BASE-FX physical layer borrows from FDDI Physical Layer Dependent standard. It uses multimode (62.5/125um) fiber cabling. Connectors SC, MIC and ST. The ST connector appears to be the most popular now because of lower cost. • What kind of cables do I use with USB?
