    What communication applications are multimode optical cables used for

    Multimode fiber cables are commonly used in local area networks (LANs),data centers, and other applications that require high-bandwidth transmission over short distances. Multi-mode links can be used for data rates up to 800 Gbit/s. Multi-mode fiber has a fairly large core diameter that enables multiple light modes to be. Multimode fiber (MMF) is an optical fiber designed to carry multiple light propagation paths—or modes—simultaneously. 5 microns, compared to the ~9-micron core in single-mode fiber. Different generations of multimode fibers, designated as OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4, and OM5, have been developed to meet the increasing bandwidth requirements of various network applications.
