How many meters of fiber optic cable should be used for the router
Use 1000 feet of fiber optic cable rated for low loss, or add repeaters. For example, a fiber optic cable with a distance of 1km supports a bandwidth of 500MHz, while a fiber optic cable with a distance of 2km can only support a bandwidth of 250MHz. There are three main reasons for this: First, high-bandwidth signals are more susceptible to chromatic dispersion than. The maximum distance for single mode fiber optic cable can extend up to several hundred kilometers, making it ideal for long distance data transmission. 652,” which is commonly used in telecommunications networks.
