What type of fiber optic cable is used for a single-mode 40km connection
OS1 single mode fiber optic cables are made with a single mode fiber core, which means that they have a very small core diameter of 9 microns. This allows the cables to transmit data over much longer distances than multimode fibers, with less signal loss and better quality. With a typical core diameter of 8-10 micrometers (μm), single-mode fiber minimizes modal dispersion and enables signal transmission over distances of up to 100. It offers high bandwidth, low signal loss, and resistance to electromagnetic interference (EMI), making it ideal for modern high-speed networks.
