  • Ethernet standards:
    • Review what the letters mean at the end of the designation:
      • 10GBaseSW: S stands for short-range and W stands for WAN
      • 10GBaseSR: S stands for short-range and R means it works with existing Ethernet standards.
      • Does L stand for long-range?
    • 1000BaseSX:
      • supports runs of up to 500 m over MMF.
      • Doesn't support 10km runs.
