This is a Fiber Module plugged into a hub running at either 10 or 100
Mbps. The module is then connected to an Intel Express 10/100 Fast
Ethernet Switch at full-duplex using 62.5/125-micron fiber optic cable.
The module was forced to full-duplex to ensure a connection to the
switch. The maximum cable distances are shown below.
Notes on connecting with fiber optic cable
1 Connect devices up to 160 m apart at half-duplex. Connect up to
2 km at full-duplex.
2 Insert the Fiber Module into a hub running at 10 or 100 Mbps.
However, the connection between the Fiber Module and the
connected device can only be 100 Mbps.
3 If you’re unsure of a device’s auto-negotiation capabilities, force
the duplex mode of the Fiber Module to ensure you’ll get a full-
duplex connection.
4 Performance with a full-duplex connection varies depending on
your network. If you have problems, connect at half-duplex.
