Can I use any type of multimode fiber with the Intel 10 GbE LR Server Adapter?
No. The Intel PRO 10GbE LR Server Adapter will only use 9-micron single mode fiber. It cannot use multi-mode fiber at any length. You will need to use the Intel(R) PRO 10GbE SR Server Adapter, Intel 10 Gigabit XF SR Server Adapter or Intel 10 Gigabit XF Dual Port Server Adapter for use with multi-mode fiber.
