Which characteristic causes multimode fiber-optic cable to differ from single mode?
A) by allowing multiple network services in the same cable
B) shorter maximum network segment length for a given bandwidth
C) a wider variety of available connector types
D) use outdoors as well as indoors

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Multimode fiber-optic cable has a larger core diameter than single mode, which allows multiple light modes to propagate. This results in more dispersion and attenuation, leading to a shorter maximum network segment length compared to single mode fiber for the same bandwidth.
