FX, SX and LX fiber - what's the difference of these fibre ?

Fibre cabling is the future for wired networks. Single-mode / Multi-mode; suitable wavelength; cable conditioning etc. will be discussed in this forum.

FX, SX and LX fiber - what's the difference of these fibre ?

Postby knoll » Mon May 15, 2006 5:07 pm

Optical fiber are classified according to several parameters. The most important ones are:
  • Diameter: 9 μm, 10 μm, 50 μm and 62.5 μm
  • Wavelength: 850nm, 1300nm, 1310nm and 1550nm
  • Number of wavelength: Multi-mode Fiber (MMF) OR Single-mode Fiber (SMF)
  • supported distant range: in meters / kilometers

Generally speaking, the "S" stands for "Short Wave Length" and "L" stands for "Long Wave Length".

LX fibre - e.g. 1GBASE-LX / 1000BASE-LX is available in 50 μm and 62.5 μm as multi-mode fibre (mmf) supporting about 550 meters distance at 1300 nm wavelength. Distances of 2..10 km are possible in case of single-mode fibre (smf).

SX fibre - e.g. 1GBASE-SX / 1000BASE-SX is available in 50 μm and 62.5 μm as multi-mode fibre supporting about 250 meters distance at 850 nm wavelength. This wavlength allows for the use of LED transmitters, which are cheaper available then the normally used laser components.

FX fibre refers to the 100BASE-FX fast ethernet standard. This fibre type is the long wavelength optics fibre type for 100Mbps transmission systems.

This brief explaination should soon be extended. Fell free to add your knowledge to this post.

we switch over to the concept of secured loans

Before we switch over to the concept of secured loans, leta?s illustrate it by means of an example. Suppose if a person decides to avail loan from the 100g Ethernet market, he will seek two basic characteristics in any loan that is low interest rate and Martin Brodeur Olympic Hockey jersey
Sidney Crosby jersey
Sidney Crosby Team Canada jersey

Dany Heatley Olympic Hockey jersey flexible repayment period. Generally seen, the loan lacks one of the two characteristics and this ends in making the person hopeless. But, now there is no need to lose hope because secured loan serves for both these characteristics.
