3.8.4 Connecting Single-Mode Fiber Optic
When using single-mode fiber cable, be sure to use single-mode fiber port
connectors. Single-mode fiber cable has a smaller diameter than multi-mode
fiber cable (9/125 microns for single-mode, 50/125 or 62.5/125 microns for
multi-mode where xx/xx are the diameters of the core and the core plus the
cladding respectively). Single-mode fiber allows full bandwidth at longer
distances, about 20Km with the multi-mode SC.
The same procedures as for multi-mode fiber apply to single-mode
fiber connectors. Follow the steps listed in Section 3.8.2 above.
