Match each Ethernet physical interface standard or transceiver type to its corresponding media specification, wavelength, and maximum distance limitation.
- 10GBASE-SR SFP+ TransceiverMultimode Fiber using 850 nm wavelength with a 300-meter reach over OM3
- 1000BASE-LX Transceiver (operating over MMF)Multimode Fiber using 1310 nm wavelength requiring a mode-conditioning patch cord for 550 meters reach
- 10GBASE-LR SFP+ TransceiverSingle-Mode Fiber using 1310 nm wavelength with a 10-kilometer reach
- 100BASE-TX InterfaceCategory 5e/6 UTP Copper cable using RJ-45 connectors with a 100-meter limit
Answer
10GBASE-SR SFP+ matches Multimode Fiber using 850 nm wavelength up to 300 m on OM3; 1000BASE-LX over MMF matches Multimode Fiber using 1310 nm wavelength requiring a mode-conditioning patch cord for 550 m reach; 10GBASE-LR SFP+ matches Single-Mode Fiber using 1310 nm wavelength up to 10 km; 100BASE-TX matches Category 5e/6 UTP Copper cable up to 100 m.
Each physical transceiver and interface type has specific operating wavelengths, core media requirements, and distance bounds: 10GBASE-SR uses 850 nm lasers on multimode fiber up to 300 meters (OM3); 1000BASE-LX can run over multimode fiber at 1310 nm up to 550 meters when using a mode-conditioning patch cord; 10GBASE-LR operates over 1310 nm single-mode fiber up to 10 kilometers; and 100BASE-TX uses twisted-pair copper with RJ-45 connectors up to 100 meters.
