TigerSwitch 16 Model SMC6516TF
This model contains one 100BASE-TX port and one 100BASE-FX
port. The 100BASE-FX port can be used to connect the switch
to a 100BASE-FX port on another switch or hub, making it part
of a high-speed fiber backbone. The longer allowable run
distance for fiber cable also makes the 100BASE-FX port useful
for connecting to remote devices. The 100BASE-TX port can be
used to provide a dedicated bandwidth (200 Mbps in full-duplex
mode) to a server or power user that is close to the switch.
In the following figure, the 100BASE-FX port is connected to a
remote central site and the 100BASE-TX port, to a server. The
aggregate bandwidth of this network is 580 Mbps.
