Note
The maximum length of fiber-optic cable that can be supplied in one piece depends on the
cable type but is approximately 3 km per drum. Longer links must therefore be put together
using more than one piece of cable. To connect the sections of cable, coupling elements or
splices must be used reducing the maximum possible cable length due to their attenuation.
