MMF supports high data rates—up to 100 Gbps—over distances typically ranging from 300 to 550 meters, depending on fiber type (OM3, OM4, OM5). Single-mode fiber optic cables are more suitable for long-distance, high-speed transmission than multimode fiber optics. However, the dispersion-compensating fibers can support more than 200 kilometers. Single mode fiber can transmit light signals over 100+ kilometers without amplification. With a 200 MHz/km bandwidth, OM1 fiber can transmit up to 275 meters for 1 Gigabit Ethernet and 33 meters for 10 Gigabit Ethernet., 40G, 100G, 400G). For prevailing 10 Gigabit transmission speeds, OM3 is generally suitable for distances up to 300 m, and OM4 is suitable for distances up to 550 m. The vast majority of commercial buildings and data centers fall within these ranges, and because of LOMMF's lower installation and operation costs, make. The transmission distance of multimode fibers varies significantly based on the data rate and the specific fiber type used.
