1. Cable distances are based on fiber loss. Additional factors, such as the number of splices and the optical quality of the fiber, can affect cabling
distances.
2. A mode-conditioning patch cord is required. Using an ordinary patch cord with MMF, 1000BASE-LX/LH SFP transceivers, and a short link distance
can cause transceiver saturation, resulting in an elevated bit error rate (BER). When using the LX/LH SFP transceiver with 62.5-micron diameter
MMF, you must also install a mode-conditioning patch cord between the SFP transceiver and the MMF cable on both the sending and receiving ends
of the link. The mode-conditioning patch cord is required for link distances greater than 984 ft (300 m).
3. ITU-T G.652 SMF as specified by the IEEE 802.3z standard.
4. 1000BASE-ZX SFP modules can reach up to 62 miles (100 km) by using dispersion-shifted SMF or low-attenuation SMF; the actual distance depends
on the fiber quality, the number of splices, and the connectors.
