[@mndlessdrwer]

Multi-mode LC-LC, preferably OM4 if you want to run 25Gb over more than 30M. OM5 if you want to go further than 100M. If you're running fixed cabling inside your walls and you're planning to run a whole bunch of connections to a single room, you may wish to run plenum-grade MPO or MTP cables, which are a multi-strand cable typically comprised of anywhere from 8 to 24 fibers. MPO and MPT of any fiber count all share the same connector form factor, however the pinout of the optical fibers from one end to the other may be different based on which cables you're looking at. In addition, breakout cassettes and cables aren't necessarily compatible between the different number of fibers, so if you're planning on running fixed cables and breaking them out from the wall receptacle to a patch panel or switch, then you'll want to get on a chat with your preferred fiber purveyor to ensure that you get the appropriate cables and breakout method for your needs. Tripp Lite and FS are both very popular brands for fiber products and can help you sort out what you need if you're planning to do this kind of project, though Tripp Lite mainly focuses on large bulk orders, so you may get a better reception when ordering small lots from FS. It is important to note that the vast majority of SFP, SFP+, and SFP28 transceivers will use the common LC-LC form factor connectors whereas the QSFP, QSFP56, QSFP-DD, and QSFP56-DD will utilize various fiber count configurations of the MPO/MTP form factor connectors. It should be noted that it is possible to purchase SFP and SFP+ transceiver modules which are a 1G Base-T or 10G Base-T, meaning that you can use them with standard RJ45 copper Cat5e or Cat6a cables. There is another thing to note when considering transceivers which is their range. Short-range and long-range can be selected for when choosing transceivers, which primarily dictates both their transmission power along with the amplification circuit strength on the receiving side. These are denoted by the SR and LR designations, respectively. SR are ideally suited for runs shorter than around 30M, whereas LR are for runs up to around 100M, but can go further if you use the right fiber grade. Receivers that can transmit further are available, but are typically not made for the common SFP and QSFP form factors as they require more power and cooling than that standard is intended to deliver, and their transmission distance is typically specified clearly in the listing. Word of caution, though: avoid active optical cables or AOC cables if you can. While they may seem cheaper initially compared with purchasing the transceivers and cable separately, fiber is easy to break and if the cable gets damaged then you have no usable parts remaining. If you buy the three discrete components then you can just replace the broken cable and still reuse the transceivers. DAC cables you don't really have to worry about as they are shockingly durable. The only problem is the length restriction. This is primarily due to both power, impedance, and interference. For 10Gb the longest DAC cables I've ever seen were 12M, though 10M are a hell of a lot more available. 25Gb tends to restrict you to 5M, though I had read somewhere that Arista was considering making some 7M ones at one point in time. When you get to QSFP DACs you're typically limited to less than 5M, though 7M is available for 40Gb. These are all for passive cables, which I would recommend using when possible as they offer broader compatibility. If your switch and HBA supports either, then feel free to spend a bit more to buy active DACs as that can allow you to gain several more meters of length and save you the trouble of having part of your connectivity needing to be made with fiber. DAC cables are some of my favorite to work with even though they can be a bit of a chore to cable manage and route cables for due to their bulk. It's just nice not to need to worry overmuch about damaging the cable after you've been dealing with fiber for so long. Plus, they're typically quite cheap, so if you can get away with DAC cables, I highly, highly recommend looking into them. Also, if you need the broadest compatibility and you're checking out the second-hand market for some used enterprise hardware, try to pick up either Intel or Cisco DAC cables, particularly for 10Gb, as they have the broadest compatibility I've encountered thus far. I've never had an HBA reject the Cisco TwinAx and only early revisions of the Dell 10Gb switches had any issues with them. Later models have no such problems, neither did Arista, Cisco, Mellanox, and Brocade 10Gb switches. If you can, try to get the ones with the rubber-coated pull tabs, as the latch mechanism for those was redesigned and is much better, as is the rubber coating on the cable itself. Early DAC cables have a tendency to develop a powdery surface oxidation that leaves you feeling dusty and your hands with a grey film of dust and grime on them. Later revisions age much better.

[@Skradgee]

“That would be really expensive and kind of stupid.” I mean it sounds like both those boxes have already been checked off anyway.

[@DavidCNavas]

Depending on length, the OS2 patch cables can be cheaper than OM4 while the receivers are about $20 more (for 25Gbps at fs). I'm not sure that qualifies as "really expensive"? I have a pair of two dual 25Gbps mellanox cards, and the $40 diff for a pair seems more rounding error, but ymmv. It's the 25Gbps switch that's "really expensive".

I have been installing fiber cables for most of the Major Cell carriers for over a decade now and I have never seen it explained as simply as you did here. I am sending sections of this to my techs who maintain Cell sites on Towers. They test and replace Fiber everyday and many of them don't understand how they work. I remember when we first ran into Multi Mode Fiber because we were use to Single mode and it was new to us. I honestly learned from this too. You do a great job and I have enjoyed your videos for a long time. Thank You!

I got thrown into the deep end of fiber networking when I was hired to fix and finish another company's partial installation. I was so happy to learn that coupling and adapters for fiber terminations are widely compatible. I fixed all of the issues and got a call a week later it wasn't working after the COO of the company tried to fix an issue by unplugging a fiber cable and plugging it back in - he completely destroyed two of the 12 fiber bundle and I switched them over to another unused pair.
