WhisperLAN/SPT is a fiber-optic Ethernet transceiver that can beconnected to any equipment compatible with Ethernet Version 1.0/2.0 andIEEE 802.3 standards. The transceiver performs all physical layerfunctions needed to send and receive signals on a standard Ethernettransceiver cable interface. WhisperLAN/SPT is used in a ring topologywith CSMA/CD; however, the actual wiring can be implemented in a star,bus, or ring layout. One ring corresponds to one Ethernet coax cablesegment. WhisperLAN/SPT transceivers can support an eight-kilometer ring.Without repeaters (compared to a coaxial cable of only .5 kilometers),the transceivers can be spaced up to two kilometers apart, providingmaximum network distance.
