10-GbE SR

Multimode fiber-optic cable designed for

 

Gigabit Ethernet: 62.5/125 μm (core/cladding)

 

diameter or 50/125 μm, 850 nm, low metal

 

content, complying with the ITU-T G.652 and

 

ISO/IEC 793-2 Type B1 standards.

Length Limits

62.5 μm cable:

160 Mhz/km = 2-26 meters

200 Mhz/km = 2-33 meters

50 μm cable:

400 Mhz/km = 2-66 meters

500 Mhz/km = 2-82 meters

2000 Mhz/km = 2-300 meters

Installing

10-GbE LRM

Multimode fiber-optic cable designed for

 

Gigabit Ethernet: 62.5/125 μm or 50/125 μm

 

(core/cladding) diameter, graded-index, low

 

metal content, multimode fiber optic,

 

complying with the ITU-T G.651 and ISO/IEC

 

793-2 Type A1b or A1a, respectively. (A mode

 

conditioning patch cord may be needed in

 

some multimode fiber installations.)

62.5 μm cable:

160/500 MHz/km = 0.5-220 meters

200/500 MHz/km = 0.5-220 meters

50 μm cable:

400/400 MHz/km = 0.5-100 meters

500/500 MHz/km = 0.5-220 meters

1500/500 MHz/km = 0.5-220 meters
