Question 9

MMF / Core Size

Answer 9

Multi-Mode Fiber / 62.5 microns
▪ Shorter distances than single-mode fiber
▪ Larger core size allows for multiple modes of travel for the light signal
▪ Common uses:
- Routers to switches
- Switches to switches
- Servers to switches

Question 10

SMF / Core Size

Answer 10

Single-Mode Fiber / 10 microns
▪ Longer distances than multimode fiber
▪ Smaller core size allows for only a single mode of travel for the light signal
▪ Common uses:
- Routers to switches
- Switches to switches
