Latency in fiber optics can be estimated using a simple formula: Latency = Distance ÷ Speed of Light (in fiber) For example, in a 100-kilometer fiber connection, with light traveling at approximately...

Hi there, the latency in optical fibre is 5us (micro second) per 1km. It can be easily calculated from the speed of light, divided by the fibre core''s index of refraction (around 1.5 for glass), so 2x 10 8 m/s
