Step index multimode fiber is the least expensive fiber and the dispersion rate is greater than all other optical fibers limiting the bandwidth and transmission distance. This is due to the speed and ...

A multimode optical fiber in which the refractive ... of 50 or 62.5 µm and a cladding diameter of 125 µm. See step-index fiber and dispersion-shifted fiber. THIS DEFINITION IS FOR PERSONAL ...

A multimode fiber designed to compensate for ... refractive index. See step-index fiber. A protective coating (typically 900 µm) that is extruded directly over the primary coating of fibers.

Fiber optic couplers are optical devices that connect ... cause modes of light to disperse limiting the transmission bandwidth. Multimode may be further classified as being step-index or graded-index.
