Long distance (2.8 kn), short wavelength (0.85 /spl mu/m) data transmission at 10Gb/see over new veneration high bandwidth multimode fiber

During the final stage of the Gigabit Ethernet standard it became evident that the current generation of multimode fiber (MMF) had serious modal bandwidth limitations both at short (0.85 μm) and long (1.3 μm) wavelengths.
