Network Infastructure - Ethernet - 10Base-FL

Communication infastructure connection example

10Base -FL is a standard Ethernet network 10Mbit/sec connection with standard fiber optic cables. At a site in which the distance between users is more than 100 meters, it is necessary to run fiber optic cables that communicates over the 10 Base-FL (Ethernet on fiber optic) protocol.

The maximum distance between nodes is limited to 2km. The total length of network fiber must not exceed 200km (124.2 miles).

It is necessary to install fiber optic cable with the following breakdown per segment:

The fiber optic cable must have ST connectors on both sides of the cable. These should be connected to the fiber optic panel inside the communication rack. On both sides of the fiber optic cable there should be a hub for connecting to the fiber optic cable (10Base-F module). The hub will translate the fiber data to electronic data, which is then transferred to the workstations over a twisted pair cable (10Base-T).
