association between fiber type, wavelength and distance

Is there an association between fiber type, wavelength and distance? I mean are there single-mode fiber cables, which are more suited for 1550nm wavelength and have poor performance when wavelength is for example 1310nm? Are there fiber cables which support only some narrow wavelength range? In addition, how is such behavior called in physics? icon_rolleyes.gif
