Media Type
Equinix supports only Single-Mode Fiber (SMF), which carries a single ray of light (mode) for long-distance and high-speed transmissions.
Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF) and Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable options are not for sale, effective December 1, 2021. However, existing Metro Connect installations with MMF and UTF continue to be supported.
