Figure B-1. 100BASE-FX MDA
The 100BASE-FX MDA has its own LED indicators, described in Table B-1 .
The fiber optic connector is an important element of the fiber cable installation; it
directly influences cable performance. Because of termination costs, fiber optics
are often limited to use as a network backbone. But there is no other network
transport medium that can match the bandwidth, scalability, or physical
transmission capabilities of fiber optics.
