Multimode Fiber

Multimode fiber is a type of optical fiber used for transmitting data as light signals. It has a larger core diameter compared to single-mode fiber, allowing multiple light modes or paths to travel simultaneously. This makes it ideal for short-distance communication, like within buildings or campuses, where high data rates are needed. However, it can experience more signal distortion over longer distances due to the varying light paths. Common applications include local area networks (LANs), video surveillance, and data centers, where ease of installation and cost-effectiveness are important.
