The following tables provide the specifications for typical values of Corning SMF28 singlemode fibre and multimode fibres that has been cabled. Certain values may change, and the attenuation value is quoted as a Maximum. These tables are provided as a guide and users should refer to the particular fibre being used in their choice of cable.
