Characteristics of single/multi mode fiber
The main difference between single-mode fiber and multimode fiber lies in transmission distance, bandwidth and dispersion.
The main difference between single-mode fiber and multimode fiber lies in transmission distance, bandwidth and dispersion.
1. Transmission distance:
The transmission distance of single mode fiber is much longer than that of multimode fiber.
Since the light of single-mode fiber can only propagate along the central axis, the attenuation and dispersion of the signal can be reduced, thereby achieving longer distance transmission.
The light of multimode fiber can propagate along different paths, resulting in large signal attenuation and dispersion, and the transmission distance is relatively short.
