In its first test of fiber optics, the Anixter (www.anixter.com) Levels Lab found that enhanced 50 and 62.5/125-micron multimode fiber were able to support Gigabit Ethernet signals without error for distances of roughly 150-200% of the expectations. The Anixter Levels Lab is used primarily to verify that the cabling in Anixter's inventory meets or exceeds all industry standards and can supply today's ever-increasing bandwidth-intensive applications.
