LED Class 1 Using multi-mode fibre 62.5 µm / 125 µm
Range
Assume a path attenuation of 3.5 dB/km (5.6 dB / mile) for multi-mode
fibre. For multi-mode fibre you must additionally take the product of the
bandwidth lengths into consideration.
1)
Based on fibre attenuations: -
Assumes no joins in the fibre, but includes a 3 dB safety margin.
Actual losses for specific application should be calculated using cable manufacturers data or by direct measurement using
specialised equipment.
