Fiber
A point-to-point connection is necessary. Operation with multiple patch panels is allowed. Routing over
active network components, such as Ethernet Hubs, Matrixes or Routers, is not allowed.
Type of Interconnect Cable
(Cable notations according to VDE)
Type of cable Specifications
Single-mode 9μm Two fibers 9μm
I-V(ZN)H 2E9 (in-house patch cable)
I-V(ZN)HH 2E9 (in-house breakout cable)
I/AD(ZN)H 4E9 (in-house or outdoor breakout cable, resistant)
A/DQ(ZN)B2Y 4G9 (outdoor cable, with protection against rodents)
Multi-mode 50μm Two fibers 50μm
I-V(ZN)H 2G50 (in-house patch cable)
I/AD(ZN)H 4G50 (in-house or outdoor breakout cable, resistant)
Multi-mode 62.5μm Two fibers 62.5μm
I-V(ZN)HH 2G62,5 (in-house breakout cable)
A/DQ(ZN)B2Y 4G62,5 (outdoor cable, with protection against rodents)
Note: Only use Single-mode connection cables for fiber connections that are based on 3G SFPs.
Maximum Acceptable Cable Length
Type of cable 1.25 Gbps 3.125 Gbps
Single-mode 9μm 32,800 ft (10,000 m) 16,400 ft (5,000 m )
Multi-mode 50μm (OM3) 3,280 ft (1,000 m) 1,640 ft (500 m)
Multi-mode 50μm 1,300 ft (400 m) 650 ft (200 m)
Multi-mode 62.5μm 650 ft (200 m) 325 ft (100 m)
If single-mode SFPs are used with multi-mode fibers, you normally can increase the maximum acceptable
cable length.
