Which consequence occurs when optical fiber dispersion exceeds system limits?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding fiber dispersion limits causes pulse broadening, leading to inter-symbol interference; this outcome arises because **chromatic dispersion** alters signal timing. Therefore, the bit error rate increases, rather than other signal attenuations or detection issues.
