Perhaps you can provide a chart that shows the distribution of lengths
and the relative costs associated with them, and we can use that as the
basis for further understanding? I know that this data has been
presented in various presentations, but a nice succinct chart would be
helpful.
I'm also interested in the cost difference between 100m, cost for an MM
optic that'll do 150-200m, and if the optic that does 10km over SMF is
applicable for the 200m MM case (like it is with 10GBASE-LX4 and
1000BASE-LX for instance), and if it is, what's the relative cost with
that included.
On a personal note, I still don't understand why people invest a lot of
money in MM cabling when SM is around :P It's obvious that to use MM
with price-efficient optics, each hike in speed seems to shorten the reach
in MM fiber.
