Questions & Answers

Q
How do I choose between Singlemode (SM) and Multimode (MM) fiber?
A
Singlemode fiber is best for long-distance, high-bandwidth applications (such as telecommunications or data center backbone connections), while Multimode fiber is suitable for shorter distances within buildings or campuses, providing cost-effective, high-speed connectivity. Although, singlemode has gained popularity for shorter runs since the technology such as SFPs and switches has improved and the cost of the equipment has decreased in recent years.
