Fiber Cable Transmission Modes
The receiver is further categorized by the type of fiber optic cable, multimode or singlemode,
which define the effective range of transmission:
Multimode — Long distance, up to 500 m (1640 feet) (depending on the fiber cable)
Singlemode — Very long distance, up to 20 km (12.4 miles)
NOTE: The multimode and singlemode units are physically and functionally identical,
with the exception of the effective range of transmission. In this guide, any reference
applies to either transmission mode unless otherwise specified.
