G+_Technical Terry Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 This week I am scouring the shop for cables. Fixing ends and general recycling. Found two large spools of multimode fiber. All my video gear and converters use single mode ST fiber. Anyone know of a way to use multimode cable with single mode signals? (Photo - 2120ft of Cat5 recovered from various projects!)

G+_Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 You can shoot single mode through multi mode fiber for SHORT distances... but you won't even get half of the max distance of MM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
