Title :
Can large core optical fiber links compete for desktop access?
Author_Institution :

Abstract :
To achieve significant penetration into desktop LANs, fiber optic links must be cost competitive with copper and provide a better upgrade path. The performance limits of larger core optical fiber links are compared with silica multimode fiber links for 850 nm and 650 nm link technologies
