There is a good chance you may need to. I have seen 200 foot runs go for years, then all of a sudden become “too hot”. This was noticed when traffic levels increased and things became more busy. Does it have to be single mode? I know companies are standardizing more and more on single mode. But multimode still has it’s place. You can actually get 10 gig multimode. the cost may be higher than just adding in attenuators though.
