Single Mode Fiber Types
and Impact on Reach
Not all single-mode fiber is created equally. Knowing what type of single-mode fiber you have in your network is important. Is it SMF-28, TrueWave ™️, MetroCore ™️, LEAF ™️, or something else? There are several key areas to be aware of. These fibers can all be spliced together, so it is important to know if you have links that are mixed or all the same type.
