Cisco Optics Podcast Ep 53. The smartest data center operators use multi-mode fiber - do you? (2/7)

Multi-mode fiber has been the workhorse for fiber optic communication within a data center for years, as well as the choice for Ethernet backbones in office buildings. It has a rich history that goes all the way back to the first optical fiber standards when 100 megabits per second was a huge data rate. Anybody remember those days?
