Multimode fiber can be used for long distance transmission

Sagot :

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Multimode fibers have large diameter ( about 50-100 microns), and are used for short and medium distance transmission. If long multimode fiber cable are used, it can  cause distortion at the receiving end leading to partial data transmission.   Multimode cables are used for local-area network.

Single mode fiber has small diameter of  about 8.5-10 microns and can be used to transmit up to 50 times more distance than the multimode. Hence it is used for long distance communication.
