I'm new to the fiber thing so I'm looking for some general advice here.
I work at a location that is running 62.5/125 multimode fiber between data closets. We are budgeting an upgrade in internet from 1 to 5 Gb and not sure if we would need to budget running to fiber cable to go with the new transceivers.
Googling I've found that OM1 is good for 10 Gb up to 33 meters, but fall off to 1 Gb at 275 meters. Question is, how fast does the speed drop off? For example, is this as simple as adding both together and dividing by two to know where the 5 Gbps mark would be (i.e.: 33 + 275 = 308 / 2 = 154 meters)? Or is the drop off much faster similar to what we see with 5 GHz Wi-Fi networks?
