Applicable to 100BASE-EX Standard Optical Transceiver Models
2016-12-13

Introduction

In this article we will talk about the 100BASE-EX Ethernet standard and its optical transceivers and which brands these are compatible with and their basic solutions, All this just to give you more understanding about 100BASE-EX technology. You can also check the compatibility Cozlink transceivers to get compatible and cost-effective products.

What is the 100BASE-EX technology?

100Base-EX operates at a nominal wavelength of 1310 nm and has a long transmission distance of up to 40 km with single-mode fiber (SMF). It provides standard AC coupled CML for high speed signal and LVTTL control and monitoring of signals.

What are the Difference Between 100BASE-EX and 100BASE-FX?

100BASE-EX Small Form-Factor Pluggable device is a hot-swappable input/output device that plugs into Fast Ethernet ports, operates on ordinary SMF link spans up to 40 km long.


100BASE-FX is a version of Fast Ethernet over optical fiber. It uses a 1300 nm near-infrared (NIR) light wavelength transmitted via two strands of optical fiber, one for receive (RX) and the other for transmit (TX). Maximum length is 412 meters (1,350 ft) for half-duplex connections (to ensure collisions are detected), and 2 kilometers (6,600 ft) for full-duplex over multi-mode optical fiber.[10] 100BASE-FX uses the same 4B5B encoding and NRZI line code that 100BASE-TX does. 100BASE-FX should use SC, ST, LC, MTRJ or MIC connectors with SC being the preferred option.

Conclusion

Since most of the brands are only applicable to their own devices and this makes the third-party compatible optical transceiver really important as it ensures that the equipment of these brands are compatible with each other, Cozlink transceivers are known for these high performance. They are easily compatible with a huge number of brands and the prices you get on Cozlink is really less than the prices on original manufacturer All this makes Cozlink the perfect place for third-party compatible optical transceiver for 100BASE-EX Ethernet standard solution. In addition to providing optical transceivers, Cozlink also offers patch cords, fiber optic pigtails and high speed cables for your choice.
