MMF cable is quite a bit more expensive than SMF. The cost savings used to be in optics, but that distinction has fallen away. Everyone needs a hobby, so if you want to replace the cable later on nobody’s going to stop you. There was a time when we couldn’t buy a PC that could saturate 1Gbps ethernet, and that time wasn’t that long ago. Your cabling plant will outlive any hardware you buy today. |

So, it has... and fairly recently, too. If only I'd decided to do my home buildout six years later than I did!
It makes me wonder if transceiver longevity or reliability have been compromised, but I suppose that's only a thing you find out after a decade or so.
