Selecting cables and cable lengths:
Cables need to have different properties when they exceed certain lengths.
These cable properties are based on the properties of light in an optical fiber.
Single Mode
The cable is a type of cable that has a relatively small light
-
carrying core. Light in a small core makes fewer internal
reflections so that the path of light is close to a straight line.
Therefore, the light can travel further distances.
Multi Mode
The cable is a type of cable that has a relatively large light
-
carrying core. Light in a larger core makes more reflections and
can only travel shorter distances.
