There are two basic types of fiber used today and many
different types of Fiber Optic Cable. The two types
of fiber are called SingleMode (SM) and MultiMode (MM),
and SM fiber is more expensive but more efficient than
MM fiber. SingleMode fiber is generally used where the
distances to be covered are greater. Cables come in
a variety of configurations determined by a variety
of factors.
The following should give you a general overview of
fiber optic cable and its features and benefits. But,
because of the variety of types of fiber optic cable,
we recommend that you call us with a detailed description
of your application and allow us to recommend the cable

While we recommend that you consult a fiber optical-cable
specialist to determine the most cost effective cable
