Collapsed Backbone with Fiber Cable
Fiber optic technology allows for a longer cable run distance
(up to 2 km in full-duplex) than any other media type. The
TigerSwitch 100M, used as a collapsed backbone to interconnect
multiple Fast Ethernet segments with fiber cable, is a convenient
way to provide direct connectivity for a wide-spread LAN.
The figure below illustrates a TigerSwitch 100M connecting
multiple segments with up to 2 km of fiber cable.
