10G and 1G Multi-mode transceiver distance based on Fiber Types

For multi-mode optical modules, physical distance is very much related to the cable type used in the scenario.

10GBASE-SR module and distance:

As we see from the table above, distance is related to the cable type used. A 300m distance can be achieved if OM3 fiber distance type cable is used, 50/125 micron, which allows reaching a Minimum Modal Bandwidth of 2000 MHz-km

100M and 1-Gigabit SFP Multimode module and distance:

As we can see from the above table that with 100M and GE SFP multi-mode modules on the same fiber type conditions (OM3 fiber distance, OM2…), we can achieve much higher distances than when using 10G optical modules.
