The Subscriber (SC), Straight Tip (ST), Face Contact (FC), Lucent Technologies (LC), D4, SMA and Bionic are all connectors for single-mode fiber optic cables.
Yes, it can. But it requires a special converter - single to multi-mode.
Every single mode can act as a multi mode fiber for light having shorter wavelengths than the one it is designed to be single mode for.
mode means path, the way in which light travel, in the fiber means angle in multi mode fiber light can travel in more then one angle so it is called multi mode fiber. but in single mode fiber there is dedicated path or single path through which light beam/source can travel.
That depends on the mode on the fiber,Multi or single mode,also depends on your routers and distance from orignal signal.lots of variables.
Multi-Mode Fiber
Multi mode fiber are optical fibers which support multiple transverse guided modes for a given optical frequency and polarization. The number of guided modes is determined by the wavelength and the refractive index profile.
Multi mode
You can run multi mode fiber approximately 3000 feet before you start noticing transmission errors.
Single Mode cable is a single stand (most applications use 2 fibers) of glass fiber with a diameter of 8.3 to 10 microns that has one mode of transmission. Single Mode Fiber with a relatively narrow diameter, through which only one mode will propagate typically 1310 or 1550nm. Carries higher bandwidth than multimode fiber, but requires a light source with a narrow spectral width. Synonyms mono-mode optical fiber, single-mode fiber, single-mode optical waveguide, uni-mode fiber.
Multi-mode: 2km single-mode: 20,40,60,80,100km etc. and here is a professional manufacturer in China named Sailing.
MM fiber is multi mode fiber.strength 1.more (fiber area cross section) light carry componet core is 62.5 microns2. Same cable can be used for both single mode and multimode transmission.weakness is less transmission distance 2kms (half of the single mode fiber distance)
