Chapter 5: Cable Connection Parameters
5. Cable Connection Parameters
1000BASE-SX/LX networks only support full-duplex mode. The switch-based media converter breaks the twisted-pair and fiber
segments’ collision domain to extend the cabling distance.
TP cable limitations: CAT5 and up to 328 feet (100 m)
