• 62.5 µm cable:
– 160 MHz*km=220 meters
– 200 MHz*km=275 meters
• 50 µm cable:
– 400 MHz*km=500 meters
– 500 MHz*km=550 meters
Gigabit-LX 9/125 µm (core/cladding) diameter, graded-
index 1310 nm, low metal content, single
mode fiber-optic cables, complying with the
ITU-T G.652 and ISO/IEC 793-2 Type B1
standards.

• single-mode cable:
10 kilometers
• Multimode cable:
550 meters
Note: To use multimode cables for Gigabit-LX, a mode conditioning patch cord may be needed - See the
Installation Guide that came with your module for more information.
Gigabit-LH 9/125 µm (core/cladding) diameter, graded-
index 1550 nm, low metal content, single
mode fiber-optic cables, complying with the
ITU-T G.652 and ISO/IEC 793-2 Type B1
standards.
LC - Gigabit-LH
mini-GBIC
70 kilometers
Note: Between the transmit and receive ends of the cable, at least 5db of attenuation is required for a
reliable connection. This is equivalent to 20Km of the fiber-optic cable. For distances less than 20Km,
you must add attenuators to bring the total attenuation to at least 5db. Most cable vendors carry
attenuators.
10-GbE SR Multimode fiber-optic cable designed for
Gigabit Ethernet: 62.5/125 µm (core/
cladding) diameter or 50/125 µm, 850 nm, low
metal content,
complying with the ITU-T G.652 and ISO/IEC
793-2 Type B1 standards.
SC
■ 62.5 µm cable:
• 160 Mhz*km = 2-26 meters
• 200 Mhz*km = 2-33 meters
■ 50 µm cable:
• 400 Mhz*km = 2-66 meters
• 500 Mhz*km = 2-82 meters
• 2000 Mhz*km = 2-300
meters
10-GbE LR 9/125 µm (core/cladding) diameter, 1310 nm,
low metal content, single mode fiber-optic
cables, complying with the ITU-T G.652 and
ISO/IEC 793-2 Type B1 standards.
SC single-mode cable: 2-10 kilometers
Note: Conditioning patch cord cables are not supported for 10-GbE.
