Which statement is NOT true about optical fibers?
A) Optical fibers are designed to transmit light signals instead of electronic signals.
B) Multi-mode fibers have a larger diameter than single-mode fibers.
C) Single-mode fibers are more reliable than multi-mode fibers for long distance transmission.
D) Several signals can be transmitted concurrently on a single fiber by using multiplexing.
E) Multi-mode fibers have a larger transmission capacity than single-mode fibers.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Multi-mode fibers cannot transmit signals over longer distances as effectively as single-mode fibers due to modal dispersion, which limits their transmission capacity. Therefore, statement E is not true.
