Is this a fact? The Cisco datasheet shows 550m max over MMF, both for LX and SX GBICs. > I don't know why 50 micron multi-mode is being used. I'd >use the industry standard 62.5/125 multi-mode fiber instead. I guess it's too late for that. And actually, 50/125 is pretty common, too (at least in literature... :). More to the original question, here is the result of a minimal-effort search on Google (for "50 conditioning cable"): http://www.stonewallcable.com/dept.asp?dept_id=50 Thanks, Zsombor >Fred Reimer - CCNA > > >Eclipsys Corporation, 200 Ashford Center North, Atlanta, GA 30338 >Phone: 404-847-5177 Cell: 770-490-3071 Pager: 888-260-2050 > > >NOTICE; This email contains confidential or proprietary information which >may be legally privileged.
