Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The two major classifications of fiber optic cable are single mode and multimode. Single mode cable has a small core diameter, allowing only one mode of light to propagate, resulting in a higher bandwidth and longer transmission distances. Multimode cable has larger core diameters, allowing multiple modes of light to propagate, resulting in a lower bandwidth and shorter transmission distances. Plastic and glass, flexible and inflexible, and colored and monochrome classifications are not used to classify fiber optic cable.
