OM1 cables have a 62.5-micron core and support up to 1 Gb/s over short distances, while OM2 cables have a 50-micron core, allowing higher bandwidth and up to 10 Gb/s over short distances, making them
Multimode fiber has a larger core (50-62.5 microns) that allows multiple light paths, making it ideal for short-distance data transmission, often within buildings. Single-mode fiber, with a smaller co
For single-mode fiber, acceptable dB loss generally falls between 0.2 and 0.4 dB per kilometer, influenced by the wavelength used (commonly 1310 nm or 1550 nm). Connector losses typically add between
