a. Based on construction, Multimode permits many concurrent light modes, whereas single-mode fiber is meant to transport a single light mode. The bandwidth, signal stability, and signal transmission distance are all impacted by this disparity.
b. Based on bandwidth, Single mode cables may accommodate more powerful, brighter light sources with less attenuation. Comparatively, Multimode relies on the transmission of several light modes with increased attenuation and lower brightness.
c. Based on transmission distance, With a typical single-mode connection, single-mode fiber can transport data across short and long distances of up to 10 km (6.2 miles). On the other hand, the maximum transmission distance for multimode ranges from 300 to 550 meters.
