 The Fiber DriverT Gigabit Multimode Extenders apply unique technology 
            that allows the transmission of high-speed signals over Multimode 
            fibers to distances much longer than the standard. This allows the 
            use of high-speed backbone protocols over fiber that was originally 
            used for FDDI.
 
 Fiber optic cables for FDDI applications were typically laid in 2 
            km increments, since that was the distance limit for FDDI and Fast 
            Ethernet on Multimode fiber. But with today's new high-speed backbone 
            protocols, Multimode fiber's physical characteristics result in a 
            maximum distance of 275 to 550 meters, depending on protocol and fiber 
            size.
 
 The Fiber Driver Gigabit Multimode Extenders offer solutions that 
            are interoperable with all standard Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, 
            and FICON equipment. The Gigabit Multimode Extenders carry Gigabit 
            links on existing Multimode fiber (FDDI graded) to distances of up 
            to 2 km (and, depending on the quality of the fiber, they can provide 
            links of up to 6 km).
