Hey [H],
I'm a laser guy but don't often work with fibre, curious as to how you would go about sending data 1-2km even up to 5-10km if it's possible with similar gear as 1-2km, without wireless, as that seems to be still quite expensive and uses licensed frequencies subject to weather impingement and range limitations.
I assume the little fibre plug in modules for switches e.g SFP-10G would not have the range? What does?
I'm looking for a cost effective way to do this, only need a single fibre connection it seems like fibre and 10gbe stuff has become much more accessible than it used to be these days.
Also any minimum requirements for 10Gbe fibre cables (e.g. like cat5e/cat6 etc for Gbe) or are they all similar?
Thanks in advance for any help!
