Steve, What type medium are you using? If it is normal Cat5/6 then the limitation is 100 meters for total distance and as you approach that limit the signal degrades. That said, 100baseFX can run for 400 meters due to the fact that it is fiber, both are part of the fast Ethernet specification though.
And just for the record, 100BaseFX in full-duplex mode can actually run for 2000 meters with multimode fiber 62.5 micron core, 125 micron outer. -- Jorge Hernandez UNAM Network Operations Center http://www.noc.unam.mx (+52) 55 5622 8509
