Explanation
Industry Standard Architecture - Student Guide 2 - Page 26: Single-mode optic fiber Single-mode fiber has the highest bandwidth and lowest loss performance. The core is so small that only a single mode of light can enter it. Therefore, the chromatic and modal dispersion are greatly reduced or eliminated.
