Reasons for Single-Mode Fiber Transmission
Low dispersion: Single mode fiber has lower dispersion, which reduces signal distortion and allows for longer transmission distances. Optical fiber transmission is based on the principle of total internal reflection, where light signals are transmitted through a thin glass or plastic fiber with a core and cladding. Unlike multimode fiber, single mode cable boasts a narrow core diameter of 8 to 10µm, enabling it to propagate.
