Cable Transmission Modes

The receiver is further categorized by the type of fiber optic cable, multimode or singlemode,
which defines the effective range of transmission:

Multimode (MM) — Long distance, up to 2 km (6,560 feet) (depending on the fiber
cable)

Singlemode (SM) — Very long distance, up to 30 km (18.75 miles)

NOTE: The multimode and singlemode units are physically and functionally identical,

with the exception of the effective range of transmission. In this manual, any
reference applies to either transmission mode unless otherwise specified.
