How far can I transmit an AV signal on an optical fiber?
Optical AV signals can be transmitted for several miles or kilometers on singlemode fiber, and thousands of feet or hundreds of meters on multimode fiber. Newer laser-optimized multimode fiber may extend the transmission distance up to 2 km. Multimode fiber is typically used within buildings or on the same floor. Singlemode fiber is typically used for long haul transmission between buildings on a campus or between campuses.
