Fiber Media Notes:

1. Fiber Type for Duplex Fiber Optic: Cable specifications are for 50 or 62.5 micron core with 125 micron cladding multi-mode graded index fiber or 9micron core with 125 micron cladding single-mode fiber.⁷⁸
2. MIFL: Maximum individual fiber loss. Numbers shown are industry⁹ standard reference; refer to specific cable for exact specifications.¹⁰
3. Distance: The maximum distance between nodes is determined by the total loss from the transmitter to the associated recei¹¹ver (fiber loss, connector loss, splice loss and power margin), or the maximum distance listed, whichever is smaller.
4. Power Budget: Use attenuation measurements at the following wavelengths: Multi-mode at 1300nm, Single-mode at 1310nm.
