Question

question 12 4 pts item 10 (4 points) we can see from the snip below that smf and mmf have different fiber core sizes. match the two types of fiber with the reason they different size cores. single - mode fiber multi - mode fiber fiber core fiber core jacket jacket single - mode fiber (smf) choose choose multimode fiber (mmf) cheaper because glass is less than plastic carries many pulses of light carries one signal on one light wave

Explanation:

Single - mode fiber has a small core to allow only one mode (one signal on one light wave) of light propagation for long - distance and high - bandwidth applications. Multimode fiber has a larger core and can carry multiple modes (many pulses of light), suitable for shorter distances and lower bandwidth needs.

Answer:

Single - Mode Fiber (SMF): Carries one signal on one light wave
Multimode Fiber (MMF): Carries many pulses of light
