When purchasing an industrial switch, customers will be asked whether they want single-mode single fiber, single-mode dual-fiber, multi-mode dual-fiber, etc., and where they are used. These will only be understood when they have a clear understanding of the purchase of industrial switches. What type of product should we choose. But some customers will ask whether the single-mode and multi-mode industrial switches can replace each other?  Please follow JHA Technology to understand the difference between multi-mode and single mode.

Can the single-mode and multi-mode industrial switches replace each other? The most fundamental difference is the transmission distance.Multi-mode is a multi-node, multi-port signal transmission in the working mode, so the signal distance transmission is relatively short, but it is more convenient, and it is unnecessary to use the construction of the local intranet. Single fiber is a single node transmission, so it is suitable for long-distance trunk transmission to form a cross-domain LAN construction. So it is normal that single-mode is more expensive than multi-mode!

Industrial switches single-mode and multi-mode are important issues that must be considered. Once used, it will be very troublesome to replace it later, and it will also involve problems such as wiring.
