Normally MM cable cable for short distance & SM used for long distance,cost of MM cable is higher than SM Cable ,other side SM FO equipments are much higher than MM.
Single mode cable uses a laser as a light source and it is perfect and a lot faster on long distance telecommunications.
Multimode cable works perfect on a single and closer building.
Multi Mode Fiber optics offer higher bandwidth and higher sped and thus give a better performance.
MM is used for communication within a short distance and it's cheapest than SM
SM is used for long distance communication and required special equipment
Multi mode cable works perfect on a single and closer building.and Single mode cable uses a laser as a light source and it is perfect and a lot faster on long distance telecommunications
multimode type of fiber are today using for better bandwidth and cheap costing in short typedistance and single mode is used to forward log distance transmission but installation and maintenance is tough.
multi-mode only short distances
single mode for long distances
MM is used for faster communication within a short distance and SM are used for long distance communication.
multi mode carries more chanels over a shorter distance hence total thoroughput is higher than singlemode while SM caries one channel at a time and transmit at a longer distance
Normally MM cable cable for short distance and SM used for long distance,in telecommunication mostly SM cable is used where as in IT MM cables are Mostly used. cost of MM cable is higher than SM Cable ,other side SM FO equipments are much higher than MM.
Multimode Advantages. ... Like singlemode, multimode fiber provides high bandwidth at high speeds, but transmission is limited to shorter distances than singlemode.
