Which data loss mechanism increases when single-mode fiber optic cables experience excessive bending?

💡 Explanation

Reduced polarization occurs because physical stress changes the fiber's refractive index causing birefringence; therefore, polarization maintaining ability decreases, rather than mechanisms related to bandwidth limitations like dispersion or related to high power effects inside the fiber.
