can’t track a cable path because it’s the only orange one amongst a sea of yellow cables. We tend to use SM in the majority of cases simply because we generally don’t have to worry about distance limitations, we can just swap out the optics to suit the requirement.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">My gut however was that for a while, not many people bother rolling out MMF as the costs are rather similar when you compare it against comparable features.<o:p></o:p></p>
