Note: xx = Maximum transporting distance in kilometers. Available in 10KM, 20KM, 40KM, and 80KM.
* Distance depending on fiber type and system design. 250 m transmission distance for PHOX-B2M is based on 50/125 MM fiber.
Extra optical losses in the system will reduce the maximum transmission distance.
