Light Carrying core is smaller in diameter , typically between 8.3 to 10 Micrometre |
Light Carrying core is larger in diameter , typically between 50 to 100 Micrometre |
| 2 |
only one mode will propagate typically 1310 or 1550nm |
Light waves are dispersed into numerous paths, or modes, typically 850 or 1300nm |
| 3 |
Gives highest transmission speed & less signal distortion |
Multimode fibre gives you high bandwidth at high speeds over short distances |
| 4 |
Due to high cost of transceiver, single mode FO cable is far more expensive than multimode FO cable |
Multimode FO cables are relative cheaper |
| 5 |
Suitable for long distance application |
Can be used for short/medium distance application |
| 6 |
It uses laser diode based fibre optic transmission equipment which is main reason for high cost |
It uses LED based fibre optic equipment |
| 7 |
Maximum length varies from 5 km to 40 km based on bandwidth |
It is recommended for Fibber run less than 400 m |
