How to Identify Single Mode and Multi Mode Fibre Optic Cable

Single-mode optical fibre would be ideal for long distances that require more bandwidth such as telecommunications companies, cable television providers, colleges and universities. Multimode optical fibre commonly used short distances, audio/video applications, and Local Area Networks (LANs).

  1. How to Identify Single Mode and Multimode Fibre Optic Cable Fiber optic patch cables, also known as fiber optic cable jumpers or fiber patch cords, are transmission media usually made of glass used to transmit data via light. Let’s begin by focusing on single mode and multimode fiber optic cables. Multimode optical fiber cable has a larger diametrical core that permits multiple modes of light to pass through at a given time. Single mode optical fiber cable a small diametrical core that allows one mode of light to pass through at a given time. 1 CORE SIZE The core of all fiber cables carries light to transmit data. The main difference between single-mode and multimode fiber patch cables is the size of their respective cores, as shown in the above picture. TRANSMISSION SPEED AND DISTANCE Both single-mode and multimode fiber patch cable can handle 10G speeds. Single-mode cable has a greater distance potential and can support runs between 2 m and 10 km or 40 km. While multimode cable generally can reach up to 550 m. 2 BANDWIDTH 3 Multimode fibre bandwidth is limited by its light mode and the maximum bandwidth. While single-mode fibre bandwidth is unlimited theoretically as it allows one light of mode to pass through at a time. Nowadays, fiber optic patch cables, either multimode or single-mode patch cord are widely used between local phone systems as well as many network systems. And both of them have their advantages and disadvantages. Whether to choose single-mode cable or multimode cable mainly depends on your applications.
