1. SMF = Single Mode Fiber, MMF = Multi-Mode Fiber
2. The TIA 568 building wiring standard specifies 160/500 MHz*km MMF (Multi-mode Fiber).
3. The international ISO/IEC 11801 building wiring standard specifies 200/500 MHz*km MMF.
4. The ANSI Fibre Channel specification specifies 500/500 MHz*km 50 micron MMF and 500/500 MHz*km
fiber has been proposed for addition to ISO/IEC 11801.
