What are the Differences between Multi-mode Fiber (MMF) and Single-mode Fiber (SMF)?
Both MMF and SMF are a type of optical fibre, a very thin strand of silica (glass), which enables the communication of devices by the transmission of light between each end of the fibre. Fibre optics are advantageous, as they allow for transmission over long distances (up to 100km) and at high data rates (up to 100 Gbit/s). This is because their signals are subject to less loss than metal wires, and they are not affected by electromagnetic interference (EMI) which can reduce signal quality.
Simply put Single-mode fibre (SMF) can carry a single beam of light, while Multi-mode Fibre (MMF) can carry multiple beams of light (modes). This is because MMF has a larger core size than SMF, and different optical properties within this core. Light travelling through the centre moves at a slower rate than other modes. In comparison SMF has a much smaller core (9 microns), with a single path for the light to take. This allows SMF to retain the fidelity of each pulse of light over longer distances when compared with MMF.
MMF is typically used for technologies which operate in the 850 nm wavelength, and is available in 2 core sizes 62.5 and 50 microns. SMF is typically used for technologies which operate in the 1210nm and 1550 nm wavelengths, and has a core size of 9 microns.
The following is a list of the distances and data rates achievable when using different grades of Multi-mode optical fibre. MMF is typically available in OM1, OM2, OM3, and OM4 types.
Please note: You can increase the distance on all MMF for Gigabit to 2 km when propriety cabling is installed. The use of single-mode modules and a mode conditioning cable will enable you to extend the range on OM1 fibre cable up to 550m.
