Best Answer

Depends on the equipment.

Common enterprise grade equipment can transmit up to 10Gb/s of data over a distance of up to 10Km.

Since you need 2 strands of fiber it would be 10Gb of data in full duplex (or 20Gb real throughput)

I would guess some special telecom equipment can go faster but nothing Ive ever looked at goes over 10Gb

The big difference between single-mode and multi-mode fiber is single-mode has a longer range because it is build to a higher specification. A poor comparison would be Multi-mode is like cat 5 and single-mode is like cat 6

Can you use multimode SFP in place of single mode SFP?

Singlemode fiber has a lower power loss characteristic than multimode fiber, which means light can travel longer distances through it than it can through multimode fiber. Not surprising, the optics required to drive singlemode fiber are more expensive. When to use each: Both singlemode and modern multimode fiber can handle 10G speeds. The most important thing to consider is the distance requirement. Within a data center, it's typical to use multimode which can get you 300-400 meters. If you have very long runs or are connecting over longer distance, single mode can get you 10km, 40km, 80km, and even farther - you just need to use the appropriate optic for the distance required, and again, the prices go up accordingly. Compatibility issues: They are not compatible. You cannot mix multimode and singlemode fiber between two endpoints. The optics are not compatible either.


Which two cable types are composed of glass fibers that can span the longest distances as well as provide high bandwidth speeds?

MM Fiber Max Distance Ethernet?

The maximum speed Ethernet of mm fiber has a transmission speed of 100 Mbit/s. The Ethernet mm fiber increases the speed from 10 to 100 megabits per second.


Can multimode and singlemode fiber optic cable be used together?

Not really. These are two different types of fiber optic cable and are used for different reasons. In other words, you can't mix SMF and MMF fiber in the same cable, but they could be used in separate cables in the same network (although it isn't likely) MMF fiber is used for short haul interconnects, and SMF fiber is typically used for longer distances,

Maximum distance a wave vibrates from its rest position?

The maximum distance is called its peak. The distance between the wave's positive and negative peaks is its amplitude.
