The market price for a 200 meter fiber optic cable can range from approximately $80 to over $300, depending on the aforementioned variables. Single-mode fiber costs less per foot than multimode fiber, but it requires more. Main cost drivers include cable grade (indoor vs outdoor, armoured), distance, and labor for trenching, splicing, and termination. A basic OM1 multimode duplex cable with SC connectors might fall on the lower end, while an OS2 single-mode armored cable with LC/APC connectors could command. Here's a general pricing reference: These are indicative prices based on standard configurations.
