Optical fiber cables are commercially available; they are not available from Cisco Systems.
Attaching Multimode and Single-Mode Optical Fiber Cables
If you ordered a Gigabit Ethernet SFP GBIC module with your Cisco 7301 router, it is one of three types
listed in
Table 2-4

If you plan to use a GLC-LH-SM at distances greater than 984.25 feet (300 meters) over 50/125-micron
Caution
or 62.5/125-micron multimode fiber, you must use the mode-conditioning patch cord to prevent data
transmission problems. See the
