It’s optical fiber so it’s good for miles.

OM1 through OM4 have full rate distances of less than 800 meters.

Yes there is faster stuff that goes for literal miles but saying that optical fiber can always go miles is incorrect.

No one said “always”; original comment is correct that fiber can literally go miles

To be fair it’s obviously meant that they’re talking about singlemode and not multimode.
