Two industry standards for Fiber Optic Cabling:
Single-Mode Fiber (SMF)
Single-mode fiber optic cabling is designed for long-distance and high-bandwidth communication. It uses a small core size (about 8 to 10 microns in diameter), allowing only a single mode of light to propagate. This minimizes signal loss and distortion, enabling the transmission of data over much longer distances compared to multi-mode fiber.
Key Features:
Core Diameter: ~8–10 µm
Light Source: Typically laser (wavelengths like 1310 nm or 1550 nm)
Bandwidth & Distance: Can transmit over distances exceeding 100 kilometers with the right optics
Speed: Supports 1 Gbps, 10 Gbps, 40 Gbps, and even 100 Gbps
Attenuation: Very low, ideal for long-haul transmissions
Cost: Higher transceiver and termination costs than multi-mode, but more efficient for long-distance links
Common Applications:
Long-distance telecommunications
Campus or metropolitan area networks (MANs)
Submarine cable systems
Backbone infrastructure in large enterprise or data center environments
Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF)
Multi-mode fiber is designed for shorter distance applications and features a larger core size (typically 50 or 62.5 microns). It allows multiple modes (paths) of light to travel simultaneously, which leads to modal dispersion. This limits its effective transmission distance compared to single-mode fiber but significantly reduces the cost of the optical components used.
