The network of 37 nodes spans a fibre length of over 10kms and will provide resilient transmission for the clients IP CCTV cameras, wireless communications and monitoring .. read more
What is the maximum distance that Gigabit Ethernet can be transmitted over multimode fibre?
Generally accepted standards determine that the maximum transmission distances for Gigabit Ethernet over multimode fibre are: However, recent developments in laser technology have now enabled transmission distances of 2000 metres for both fibre types by the use of specific optical devices.
Can 50/125 and 62.5/125 fibre be mixed?
No! While transmission may be maintained through a 50/125 to 62.5/125 interface, the mismatch in fibre core sizes produces significant attenuation which will precipitate failure of the network over a period of time.
What is OM3 Fibre?
OM3 is a “laser optimised” 50/125 multimode fibre for high bandwidth applications.
