Type of fiber optic cable with a larger center core than single mode fiber. Multimode fiber is generally used over relatively short distances.
Optical fiber that is designed to carry multiple light rays or modes concurrently, each at a slightly different reflection angle within the optical fiber core. Multiplexing - The combining of multiple data channels onto a single transmission medium. Any process through which a circuit normally dedicated to a single user can be shared by multiple users. Typically, user data streams are interleaved on a bit or byte basis (time division) or separated by different carrier frequencies ( frequency division). Multipoint - A call involving three or more parties. Multipoint circuit - A circuit consisting of three or more stations connected directly electrically.
A fiber that allows more than one mode to propagate.
A fiber that transmits many modes.
A fiber which transmits many modes.
An optical waveguide in which light travels in multiple modes. Typical core/cladding size (measured in micrometers) is 62.5/125.
A fiber supporting propagation of multiple modes. The cable has a core diameter of 50-100 microns. It causes more distortion and gives less bandwidth than single mode (monomode) fiber.
A fiber whose core diameter is large compared with the wavelength of light and therefore propagates more than one mode.
a fiber that allows light to travel along it in more than one waveguide mode.
An optical waveguide in which light travels in multiple modes. Multi-mode Laser — A laser that produces emissions in two or more transverse or longitudinal modes.
A fiber with core diameter much larger than the wavelength of light transmitted that allows many modes of light to propagate. Commonly used with LED sources for lower speed, short distance links.
An optical fiber that supports more than one propagating mode of light propagation.
Fiber-optic cabling consisting of several fibers and supporting the propogation of multiple electromagnetic field patterns.
An optical waveguide in which light travels in multiple modes. Typical core/cladding sizes (measured in microns) are 50/125, 62.5/125, and 100/140.
A type of fiber-optic cable. The word mode is synonymous with ray; you can think of multimode fiber as transmitting multiple rays. Multimode fiber typically has a core diameter of 62.5 microns and is usually selected for short haul networks (less than 2km).
A fiber that propagates more than one mode of light transmission. Commonly used with LED sources for low speed , short distance links.
Usually 50, 62.5, 100 mm core, with 125 mm cladding. Used with LED systems and operates at 850 or 1300 nanometers.
A type of optical fiber that supports more than one propagating mode. Multimode fiber cables are typically used up to 2000 meters in LAN and premise cabling. The fibers core diameters are normally 62.5m m and 50m m.
Optical fibers that have a large core and that permit nonaxial rays or modes to propagate through the core. 62.5 micron is the common standard core size for premises cabling systems.
An optical fiber with a core diameter of 50 to 100 microns. Its core causes some distortion and provides less bandwidth than single-mode fiber.
Multimode fiber allows multiple modes of light to propagate along its length at various angles and orientations to the central axis. Conventional sizes of multimode fiber are 62.5/125μm or 50/125μm. See also: fiber, single mode fiber, mode
A fiber-optic cable with a core diameter large enough to allow light to travel on different paths, supporting propagation to multiple nodes.
Optical fiber supporting propagation of multiple frequencies of light. See also single-mode fiber.
A fiber with a large core diameter. 50-200 microns compared with the wavelength of light. It therefore propagates more than one mode. With multimode fiber, light traverses multiple paths, some longer than others. This leads to dispersion, which reduces optical range at high bit rates.
An optical fiber that has a core large enough to propagate more than one mode of light The typical diameter is 62.5 micrometers.
a type of fiber-optic cable which allows multiple modes (light rays) to pass through it.
A fiber that supports transmission of more than one mode of a given wavelength of light based on the design of the fiber, its numerical aperture, and the polarized electromagnetic solution to Maxwell's equations for given boundary conditions.
