O le100M fe'avea'i fiber opitika(lea e taʻua o le 100M photoelectric converter) o se faʻaliliuga Ethernet vave. O le fiber optic transceiver e fetaui lelei ma tulaga IEEE802.3, IEEE802.3u, ma IEEE802.1d. Lagolagoina auala galue e tolu: duplex atoa, afa duplex, ma adaptive.
Gigabit fiber opitika transceiver(fa'aigoaina fo'i o le photoelectric converter) ose Ethernet vave fa'atasi ai ma le fa'asologa o fa'amatalaga o le 1Gbps. O lo'o fa'aogaina pea le CSMA/CD fa'atonu le fa'aogaina o masini ma e fetaui ma Ethernet o iai. Faatasi ai ma le lagolago a le faiga uaea, lea e mafai ona faʻaleleia lelei le uluai Fast Ethernet ma puipuia atoatoa le uluai tupe teufaafaigaluega a tagata faʻaoga.
Gigabit network technology ua avea ma tekinolosi sili ona lelei mo fesoʻotaʻiga fou ma toe faʻaleleia. E ui lava o loʻo faʻaleleia atili le faʻatinoga o manaʻoga o le faʻaogaina o uaea, e maua ai le faʻaogagofie mo le faʻaogaina e tagata faʻaoga ma faʻaleleia i le lumanaʻi.
O le tulaga o le Gigabit Ethernet e faia e le IEEE 802.3, ma e lua tulaga faʻamauina o le 802.3z ma le 802.3ab. Faatasi ai ma i latou, o le 802.3ab o se laina telefoni e faʻavae i luga o paʻu mimilo, faʻaaogaina 4 paipa o le Category 5 UTP, ma o le maualuga o le felauaiga mamao o le 100m. Ma o le 802.3z o se tulaga faʻavae i luga ole Fiber Channel, ma e tolu ituaiga o faʻasalalauga faʻaaogaina:
a) 1000Base-LX faʻamatalaga: O lenei faʻamatalaga e faʻatatau i faʻasologa o le multimode ma le tasi-mode fiber faʻaaogaina i mamao mamao. Faatasi ai ma i latou, o le mamao o le felauaiga o le tele-mode fiber o le 300 (550 mita, ma le mamao o le felauaiga o le tasi-mode fiber o le 3000 mita.) O le faʻamatalaga e manaʻomia ai le faʻaogaina o le taugata tele-galu leisa transceivers.
b) 1000Base-SX faʻamatalaga: O lenei faʻamatalaga o faʻamaufaʻailoga o le fiber multimode faʻaaogaina i mea mamao. E fa'aogaina le alava multimode ma le pu'upu'u CD (compact disc) po'o le VCSEL lasers, ma o lona mamao fa'asalalau e 300 （550 mita.)
Fa'amatalaga: Gigabit optical converter o se ituaiga o fa'aliliu fa'ailoga fa'aogaina e fa'aliliu ai le fa'ailoga eletise o le komepiuta Gigabit Ethernet i fa'ailoga fa'ailoga. E ogatasi ma IEEE802.3z/AB tulaga; o lona uiga o le taulaga eletise O le faʻailoga e fetaui ma le 1000Base-T, lea e mafai ona faʻaogaina e le tagata lava ia e ala i laina saʻo / laina laina; e mafai foi ona i ai i le atoa duplex/half duplex mode.
I le taimi nei, e silia ma le selau megabits o loʻo faʻaaogaina, ma e tau leai ni gigabits o loʻo faʻaaogaina, ae o lea ua faasolosolo malie le tau o le selau megabits ma le gigabits. Afai e te vaʻai i ai mai se vaʻaiga umi, e fautuaina e faʻaaoga le gigabitfiber optic transceivers.
Afai o le fesoʻotaʻiga o loʻo i ai nei e leai ni manaʻoga faʻapitoa, e tusa lava pe faʻafeiloaʻi le vitio maualuga poʻo le tele o faʻasalalauga faʻamatalaga, e lava le 100M fesoʻotaiga.
100M transceivers optical e taugofie nai lo gigabit optical transceivers, ma 100M optical transceivers o le a faʻaaogaina foi i tulaga tau. Ae peitaʻi, afai o le fesoʻotaʻiga faʻapitonuʻu o se fesoʻotaʻiga gigabit, o le faʻaogaina o le gigabit transceivers e sili atu le lelei nai lo le 100M transceiver.
Aotelega: Anapogi ma Gigabit fiber optic transceivers e tutusa le galuega, e faʻaaogaina e maua ai faʻailoga malamalama, ae o latou bandwidth e ese, ma Gigabit saoasaoa e vave.
