Re: Question Regarding Fibre connectors

In addition to this, if you are using a multimode fibre pair between
the 2 6500's, be VERY carful which type of patch cables are used, and
also which type of fibre is used in between the patch panels. If you
are using 62.5 um patch cables or fibre runs, your distance will be
severely limited. For some type of media, a mode conditioning cable
can solve some problems.

Check this document for the 10 gig specs:

Here's a great document that describes the how& why for fibre types
and mode-conditioning:

Kind regards,
