Fiber Media

Used to transmit data using light instead of electrical impulses.

Single-Mode Fiber (SMF)

Designed for long-distance communication and features a small glass core typically around 8.3 to 10 microns in diameter.

Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF)

Tailored for shorter distances because it has a larger fiber core size that ranges from 50 to 100 microns.
