Thanks egamma.

Our manufacturing building is 1,650 feet long.  I know single mode is great for very long hauls.  OM4 multimode is good for 1,500, which is sufficient, in this case that last 150 feet can be covered by ethernet.

The more I look at this, the more I think that we can ditch the single mode and go all multimode.

Make them provide a concrete use example for the SM, other than increasing their profit. I can't see one.
