The simplest answer, and the only one defined by the standard, is to use single mode rather than multimode fiber. Depending on the details, this can get you up to about 40 km. Single mode PMD products are available from a number of vendors (Digital being one). I'd expect the same approach would work with TAXI chips, though of course there are no standards in that case. paul
