Understanding EX Series Switches Fiber-Optic Cable Signal Loss, Attenuation, and
Dispersion
To determine the power budget and power margin needed for fiber-optic connections,
you need to understand how signal loss, attenuation, and dispersion affect transmission.
EX Series Switches use various types of network cable, including multimode and
single-mode fiber-optic cable.

Signal Loss in Multimode and Single-Mode Fiber-Optic Cable
Multimode fiber is large enough in diameter to allow rays of light to reflect internally
(bounce off the walls of the fiber). Interfaces with multimode optics typically use LEDs
