  4. What is multi mode fiber? • Multi-mode fiber is a type of fiber optic cable which is thick enough for light to follow several paths through the code. • Multi-mode fiber is best suited for use in short lengths, such as those used in Local Area Networks (LANs) and Storage Area Networks (SANs). • Multi-mode fiber comes in two standard widths, 62.5 micron and 50 micron. A micron is one millionth of an inch. • 62.5 micron multi-mode fiber can support Gigabit Ethernet over distances as long as 275 meters; 50 micron multi-mode fiber can increase that range to 550 meters • The opposite of multi-mode fiber is single-mode fiber. • Multi-mode fiber is easier to work with than single-mode fiber. The fiber is larger and the tolerances required are much lower. • Multi-mode fiber is sometimes abbreviated as MMF. DE NAYER INSTITUUT Hogeschool voor Wetenschap & Kunst

  5. What is single mode fiber? • Single-mode fiber is a type of fiber optic cable through which only one light signal can travel at a time. • Because single-mode fiber is more resistant to attenuation than multi-mode fiber, it can be used in significantly longer cable runs. • The core of a single-mode fiber is normally 9 microns wide. A micron is one millionth of an inch. • Single-mode fiber can support Gigabit Ethernet over distances as long as 10 kilomters. • The opposite of single-mode fiber is multi-mode fiber. • Single-mode fiber is sometimes abbreviated as SMF.
