Wire diameter of multimode fiber
The transition between the core and cladding can be sharp, which is called a, or a gradual transition, which is called a. The two types have different dispersion characteristics and thus different effective propagation distances. Multi-mode fibers may be constructed with either or Multi-mode optical fiber features a larger core diameter (typically 50–100 μm), allowing multiple light modes to propagate simultaneously. In addition, the fibers are suitable for use in premises wiring application like LAN's with video, data and or voice services using LED, VCSEL and Fabry-Perot laser sources and are thus compliant with all relevant network standards. This Applications Engineering Note (AE Note) discusses the criteria for properly selecting the optimal multimode fiber (MMF) for enterprise applications.
