Giga bit Ethernet

1000Base-SX (short wavelength fiber)
– Short wavelength (770-860 nm)
– support duplex links of
• 220- 275 m using 62.5 mm multimode fiber
• 500- 550 m using 50 mm multimode fiber
1000Base-LX (long wavelength fiber)
– Long wavelength (1270-1355 nm)
– support duplex links of
• 550 m using 62.5 mm or 50 mm multimode fiber
• 5000 m using 9 mm single-mode fiber
1000Base-CX (short haul copper)
– supports 1-Gbps links within a single room or equipment rack
– uses copper jumpers , special shielded twisted pair that spans no more
than 25 m
1000Base-T
– uses 4 pairs of cat 5 UTP
– support devices over a range of 100m

• Encoding scheme for Gigabit Ethernet is 8B/10B
