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.

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 singlemodemultimode fiber provides high bandwidth at high speeds, but transmission is limited to shorter distances than singlemode.
