Home / Longest distance of overhead optical fiber cable
Fiber optic cable can be run anywhere from 300 meters up to 80 kilometers (roughly 50 miles) depending on the cable type, transceiver used, and network standard. For most enterprise or data center applications using multimode fiber, the practical limit sits between 300 m and 550 m. Fiber optic cable transmission distance is determined by two primary physical factors that affect signal quality as light travels through the fiber medium. Maximum distance (km) = Available budget (dB) ÷ Cable attenuation (dB/km) − [Fixed losses / Cable attenuation] For an OS2 cable with an attenuation of 0,35 dB/km at 1310 nm, 4 connectors (4 × 0,5 dB = 2 dB) and 2 splices (2 × 0,1 dB = 0,2 dB): max distance ≈ (14 − 2 − 0,2) / 0,35 ≈ 33 km.
