The fibre connection must conform to both the Optical Budget and Fibre Length specifications. It is
possible to have a fibre connection longer than 3 km (1.86 miles) with less than 9 dB of loss; however,
the CTX670 Remote Expansion Cabinet is sensitive to signal delay and cannot be guaranteed to
operate at distances greater than 3 km (1.86 miles).
