How much do you need?

This is a pretty simple question, but if you need a cable fast, it can be very helpful to know the effect that length has on fiber optic cable.  10GB Multi-mode cable will do up to 10GB/s up to 330M.  But, if you need a 20M 50 micron cable that can do 10GB/s then you can often use Multi-mode 50 cable available instead.  Here's a quick chart to show bandwidth vs speed:

OM3 - 10GB Multi-mode up to 2000M up to 550M up to 330M up to 100M
