When you are ready to install fiber optic cabling in your facility please consider the following items: What type of fiber? Do you need singlemode or multimode? Singlemode is typically used in high bandwidth/ long distance applications. Multimode, which can also be used for high bandwidth applications, is typically used in instances where cable runs do not exceed 550 meters. How many strands of fiber do you need? Fiber optic cables come in paired strands of glass fiber. Typical configurations are 6, 12, 24, 72, and 144 strand configurations. Where will your fiber be installed? Will your cable be indoor, outdoor, or both? Will your cable need to be armored or not?
