The Backbone of Modern Networks 
Fiber Optics
Powering Global 
Connectivity
• Transmit data as pulses of light at ultra-high 
speeds
• Enable long-distance communication across 
continents
• Essential for data centers, enterprise networks, 
broadband
Lanshack provides cutting-edge fiber solutions tailored 
for today's network demands.
Fiber Optic Cable Types: 
Singlemode vs. 
Multimode
Singlemode 
F•iCboerer: ~9 microns
• Light source: Laser
• Distance: Up to tens of kilometers
• Best for long-haul networks
Multimode 
F•iCboerer: 50-62.5 microns
• Light source: LED
• Distance: Up to 600 meters
• Ideal for campus networks
Choosing the right type impacts network speed, distance, 
and cost efficiency.
