Question

What are the 2 types of fiber optic cable?

Answer 1

Answer:

There are two primary types of fibre – multimode and singlemode.

multimode: Multi-mode optical fiber is a type of optical fiber mostly used for communication over short distances, such as within a building or on a campus. Multi-mode links can be used for data rates up to 100 Gbit/s.

singlemode:In fiber-optic communication, a single-mode optical fiber is an optical fiber designed to carry only a single mode of light - the transverse mode. Modes are the possible solutions of the Helmholtz equation for waves, which is obtained by combining Maxwell's equations and the boundary conditions.
