Which of statements below is true?

ASingle-mode cabling can use both LED and laser as a light source.

BSingle-mode cabling is more expensive than multi-mode cabling.

CMulti-mode cabling can cross longer distances.

DMulti-mode cabling is more expensive than single-mode cabling.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Single-mode cabling and multi-mode cabling are two types of fiber optic cables that differ in their core diameter, wavelength, light source, bandwidth, distance, and cost. Single-mode cabling has a smaller core diameter and uses a laser as a light source, which enables it to transmit data over longer distances and higher bandwidths. However, single-mode cabling is also more expensive than multi-mode cabling, because it requires more precise alignment and splicing, and more costly light sources and connectors. Multi-mode cabling has a larger core diameter and uses LEDs or VCSELs as a light source, which makes it cheaper and easier to install and maintain. However, multi-mode cabling also has a shorter distance and lower bandwidth than single-mode cabling, because it suffers from more modal dispersion and attenuation.

B is spot on, single-mode costs more for sure!

I remember studying that single-mode is generally more expensive than multi-mode, so I might lean towards option B.

Okay, I've got this. The key is limited liability and privacy of the constitution. That rules out sole traders and general partnerships. So it's between a limited liability partnership and a company limited by shares. I'll go with A.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know there are some command-line tools for comparing code, but I'm not super familiar with them. I might try option D, "Run the tf diff command," and see if that works.

I vaguely recall multiple AES standards, but can't remember if 100AES was ever a thing. I think it's between the 128 or maybe the 40 option.
