Your network follows the 100BaseFX specifications for Fast Ethernet and uses half-duplex multi-mode cable. What is the maximum cable segment length allowed?
A
100m
B
412m
C
550m
D
1000m
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The maximum segment length for half-duplex multimode fiber is 412 meters, but when used in full-duplex mode over multimode fiber, distances can reach 2 kilometers. Using full-duplex single-mode fiber, 100BaseFX can reach distances up to 10, 000 meters. 100BaseFX often uses SC or ST fiber connectors.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ethernet 100BaseFX networks use what type of cabling? Your network follows the 100BaseFX specifications for Fast Ethernet and uses half-duplex multi-mode cable.

Detailed explanation-3: -Category 5e cable is now the minimum recognized cable for data networking applications, as defined by the current standard. Like Category 5 cable, it also is rated for up to 100 MHz frequencies. Additional performance standards enable it to support transmission speeds of up to 1000 mbps ("gigabit Ethernet").

Detailed explanation-4: -Which Gigabit Ethernet standard can support long network segments up to a maximum of 5 km when used with single-mode fiber optic cable? 1000BaseLX supports segment lengths of up to 5 km when used with single-mode fiber optic cable.
