It can be used with either. However, the distances vary for both. You can have up to 2,000 meters of Multi-mode fiber optic cable with Fast Ethernet under Full Duplex mode, but only up to 200 meters with a Fast Ethernet Hub under half-duplex mode. Note: Fast Ethernet Hubs support half-duplex mode only.
