The fiber is owned by Moody and handles both Information Systems' 100Base-FX network and all of the building-management functions from the physical plant.
Go tell it on the mountain
For example, in a Fast Ethernet environment, a 100BASE-TX to 100BASE-FX media converter connects a 100BASE-TX twisted pair device to a 100BASE-FX-compliant singlemode fiber port that has either a ST or SC fiber optic connector.
Linking fiber and copper
Fast Ethernet also supports fiber cabling with its 100Base-FX specification, but again products that meet the standard are not yet widely available.
