100BASE-FX is a version of fastethernet over optical fibre. It uses two strands of multimode fibre for receive and transmit. Each segment has a maximum length of 400 meters. It is also known as the "fiber" version of 100BASE-TX.
100BASE-FX is not compatible with 10BASE-FL, the 10 MBit/s version over optical fibre. It uses a 1300 nanometer light wavelength.
