About Gigabit Ethernet and Fiber Optic Cabling

Appendix A:
About Gigabit Ethernet
and Fiber Optic Cabling
Gigabit Ethernet
Gigabit Ethernet runs at speeds of 1Gbps (Gigabit per
second), ten times faster than 100Mbps Fast Ethernet, but
it still integrates seamlessly with 100Mbps Fast Ethernet
hardware. Users can connect Gigabit Ethernet hardware
with either fiber optic cabling or copper Category
5e cabling, with fiber optics more suited for network
backbones. As the Gigabit standard gradually integrates
into existing networks, current computer applications will
enjoy faster access time for network data, hardware, and
Internet connections.
Fiber Optic Cabling
Fiber optic cabling is made from flexible, optically efficient
strands of glass and coated with a layer of rubber tubing,
fiber optics use photons of light instead of electrons to
send and receive data. Although fiber is physically capable
of carrying terabits of data per second, the signaling
hardware currently on the market can handle no more
than a few gigabits of data per second.
Fiber cables come with two main connector types. The
most commonly used fiber optic cable is multi-mode fiber
cable (MMF), with a 62.5 micron fiber optic core. Single-
mode fiber cabling is somewhat more efficient than multi-
mode but far more expensive, due to its smaller optic core
that helps retain the intensity of traveling light signals.
A fiber connection always require two fiber cables: one
transmits data, and the other receives it.
Each fiber optic cable is tipped with a connector that fits
into a fiber port on a network adapter, hub, or switch.
In the USA, most cables use a square SC connector that
slides and locks into place when plugged into a port or
connected to another cable. In Europe, the round ST
connector is more prevalent.
You must use the Linksys MGBT1, MGBSX1, or MGBLH1
miniGBIC modules with the Linksys Gigabit Switches.
The MGBSX1 and the MGBLH1 require fiber cabling with
LC connectors, and the MGBT1 requires a Category 5e
Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 connector.

Windows Help
Almost
all
networking
products
require
Microsoft
Windows. Windows is the most used operating system in
the world and comes with many features that help make
networking easier. These features can be accessed through
Windows Help and are described in this appendix.
TCP/IP
Before a computer can communicate within a network,
TCP/IP must be enabled. TCP/IP is a set of instructions, or
protocol all PCs follow to communicate over a network.
This is true for wireless networks as well. Your PCs will not
be able to utilize wireless networking without having TCP/
IP enabled. Windows Help provides complete instructions
on enabling TCP/IP.
Shared Resources
If you wish to share printers, folder, or files over your
network, Windows Help provides complete instructions
on utilizing shared resources.
Network Neighborhood/My Network Places
Other PCs on your network will appear under Network
Neighborhood or My Network Places (depending upon
the version of Windows you’re running). Windows Help
provides complete instructions on adding PCs to your
network.
