It means the distance that you wanna signal be transfered. such as 20km, 40km, 60 km, 80km etc. and also 2km( multi-mode)
Increases with length and connections.

The Runkel ratio of wood fiber is calculated by dividing the length of the fiber by the square root of the width of the fiber. The formula is R = L / √W, where R is the Runkel ratio, L is the length, and W is the width of the fiber. This ratio is used to describe the flexibility and bending properties of the fiber.
An optical fiber is a glass or plastic fiber that carries light along its length. Fiber optics is the overlap of applied science and engineering concerned with the design and application of optical fibers.
contraction strength at any given fiber length
Staple
A Fiber has a length of atleast 100 times its diameter or width. and its length must be atleast 0.2 in (0.5 cm)
Several meters.

Staple in fiber refers to the individual fibers of a textile material. It is commonly used to refer to natural fibers like cotton or wool that are short in length, as opposed to filament fibers which are long continuous strands. Staple fibers are spun together to create yarns for weaving or knitting fabrics.
1000baseLX is a fiber optic standard for gigabit transmission. It can be up to 5 km using SMF fiber. MMF fiber will allow a maximum segment length of 550 meters.nodes per cable segament
