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.
■ 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
Note: Conditioning patch cord cables are not supported on 10-GbE SR.
10-GbE LR 9/125 μm (core/cladding) diameter, 1480 nm,
low metal content, single mode fiber-optic
cables, complying with the ITU-T G.652 and
ISO/IEC 793-2 Type B1 standards.
single-mode cable: 2-10 kilometers
10-GbE ER 9/125 μm (core/cladding) diameter, 1480 nm,
low metal content, single mode fiber-optic
cables, complying with the ITU-T G.652 and
ISO/IEC 793-2 Type B1 standards.
single-mode cable: 2-30 kilometers (40
kilometers, on an engineered fiber optic link
that meets standards in the specification).
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
