AC1037A | AC1037A-XMIT | AC1037A-REC OPERATING pointers & troubleshooting Optical Cable: The AC1037A operates with most single mode (SM) optical fibers. However, be aware that the type of fiber you use will affect the system’s loss budget and the maximum transmission distance that it can support. Troubleshooting: Multimode fiber optic cable contains an optical fiber with a light carrying “core” that is only .0025 inches (62.5 microns) in diameter.
