Multimode Fiber-Optic Cabling
Multimode is a type of fiber-optic cabling that allows multiple signals to be transmitted simultaneously. Line drivers for multimode fiber-optic cabling use light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to generate the light signals that carry the data down the fiber.

Single-Mode Fiber-Optic Cabling:
Imagine a highway so efficient that only one type of vehicle could drive on it — one that’s incredibly fast and never gets caught in traffic. Now, replace that vehicle with a beam of light, and you have the essence of single-mode fiber-optic cabling. In this article, we’re going to explore the fascinating world of…

Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI)
Fiber Distributed Data Interface, or FDDI, is a high-speed network technology which runs at 100 Mbps over fiber-optic cabling, often used for network backbones in a local area network (LAN) or metropolitan area network (MAN).
