The maximum length for optical Ethernet cables is
limited by the core diameter (measured in microns) and
modal bandwidth (in units of MHz*km).
Avid supports multi-mode fiber (MMF) cable using
850 nm transceivers (1000BASE-SX short distances).
Specifications for these cables can be found in the ISO
11801 structured cabling document.
• OM1 (62.5/125) —
- 100 Mb Ethernet, up to 2000 meters (FX)
- 1 Gb Ethernet, 275 meters (SX)
- 10 Gb Ethernet, 33 meters (SR)
• OM2 (50/125) —
- 100 Mb Ethernet, up to 2000 meters (FX)
- 1 Gb Ethernet, 550 meters (SX)
- 10 Gb Ethernet, 82 meters (SR)
• OM3 (50/125) —
- 100 Mb Ethernet, up to 2000 meters (FX)
- 1 Gb Ethernet, 550 meters (SX)
- 10 Gb Ethernet, 300 meters (SR)
• OM4 (50/125) —
- 100 Mb Ethernet, up to 2000 meters (FX)
- 1 Gb Ethernet, 1000 meters (SX)
- 10 Gb Ethernet, 550 meters (SR)
Avid supports single-mode fiber cable using
1310 nm transceivers (long distances):

When connecting to the 10 Gb port, it is important to follow two rules:
– Ensure that the cable has the required modal bandwidth for the distance of the run.
– Make sure that all multimode cables between a switch port and the other end of the cable run are of the same
diameter (for example, 50/125 um or 62.5/125 um).
w
Single mode transceivers are Class 1 laser product per IEC 60825-1 Amendment 2(2001) and IEC 60825-2
1997. Operating this product in a manner inconsistent with intended usage and specification may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.
