1000BASE-SX/LX
The IEEE 802.3-2002 is 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 1. 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.
