I have a customer that just purchased a second building.Distance = unknown (guess about 1 -2 miles)
They are having an electrical company run the span on the telephone poles. (They are working out al of the permissions)

Question. I know Single-mode would work hands down. But I am trying to determine if multi-mode would be a better option.
Is there any sort of "speed graph" that states for this "spec" of cable (OS3 for instance) with this wavelength running full duplex at 1 mile will have this expected bandwidth.

They seem to be in that grey (slate smile ) area where almost anything will work for them, the question is what will work best for the cost?

Or should I just concetrate on the media converter and spec the cabel to that? I know that can limit future growth.
Another option might be to use multiple pairs and split the traffic....would be more endpoints. Would like to achieve 10Gbs as an end result.
