| 1000 BASE-SX/ LX ( FIBER ) |
| The IEEE 802.3z taskforce has developed a gigabit
Ethernet solution over fiber that supports half and full-duplex
transmission at speeds of 1Gbps (1000mbps). The 1000Base-SX
standard was developed to support lower cost multimode fiber
runs in horizontal and shorter-length backbone applications.
The 1000Base-SX standard supports the multimode fiber distances
shown in table below. The 1000Base-LX standard was developed
to support longer-length multimode building fiber backbones
and singlemode campus backbones. The 1000Base-LX standard
supports multimode lengths of 550m and singlemode lengths
of 3km. |

1000 BASE-T ( COPPER ) |
| The IEEE 802.3ab taskforce is developing a Gigabit
Ethernet solution that supports 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps)
transmission rates over 4-pairs of category 5 UTP cable. The
1000BASE-T implementations will utilize new technology and
new signal encoding schemes in order to satisfy their high
bit rate objectives. 1000BASE-T solutions will be backward
compatible with 10BASE-T and 100BASE-T technologies. |
| Gigabit Ethernet over copper will be supported
by the TIA and ISO worst case 100m channel topology and is
expected to be supported by installed category 5 legacy cabling.
LINKBASIC recommends category 5e or 6 cabling for new installations. |
