| Optical fiber interconnection between transmitter and receiver |
|---|
| Number/type | 1 singlemode or 1 multimode fiber optic input and output per board |

| Operating distance | |
| Singlemode | 30 km (18.75 miles) with singlemode (SM) cables with a SM board |
| Multimode | 300 m (985') with 62.5 µm OM1 multimode (MM) cable and a MM board
