Transmission distance of heavy armored optical cable
An OM1 cable would have a distance of just 33 meters on a 10GBASE-SR network, but offers 275 meters for 1000BASE-SX networks. Fiber optic cable transmission distance is determined by two primary physical factors that affect signal quality as light travels through the fiber medium. Armored fiber optic cables are designed to protect delicate optical fibers from physical damage while maintaining high transmission performance. It should be remembered that the actual reach for a given bandwidth depends upon the network design and chosen engi-neering hardware solution.
