Hi

Can anyone tell me if there is practical adverse effects using OM3
fibre patch leads to connect equipment to OM1 cabling?
At a very basic level I would think the receive leg would be degraded
as you come from thick to thin.
I do not have access to test gear to try it out at the moment.


TIA

Mick

The ressult vil be high attenuation (arround 2-6 dB) in one direction
and the link will normally not come up or even vorse be unstabile.
