I'm reasonably sure that all of the 100FX I've still got running is
connected with 62.5/125. (Seven buildings, runs over 500ft, installed
since 1998, so if it's out-of-spec, I can't say I've seen a problem...)

I *know* the runs I've swapped over to 1000SX were 62.5/125.

(hmm... I seem to recall that 50/125 just roughly doubles the maxium
allowed length, but 62.5/125 allowed for more than we needed anyway.)
