| A 10-Mbps baseband Ethernet specification that uses fiber-optic cabling. 10BASE-FL is part of the IEEE 10BASE-F specification and, while able to interoperate with FOIRL, is designed to replace the FOIRL specification. 10BASE-FL segments can be up to 1000 meters long if used with FOIRL, and up to 2000 meters if 10BASE-FL is used exclusively.
