Briefly explain Multi-mode Fibre & what is it subject too?
The core is big enough to allow Multiple Paths of light to propogate down the fibre each time the Tx emits a pulse of light and is subject to MODAL DISPERSION
Briefly explain Single-Mode Fibre & what is it subject too?
Core is big enough to allow a single Path of light to propogate down the fibre & is subject to Chromatic dispersion
