Which outcome explains the chromatic dispersion increase when extending a single-mode fiber optic cable beyond its designed length for 1550 nm light?

💡 Explanation

Increased cable length causes higher order mode excitation, leading to increased material dispersion, because different wavelengths travel at different speeds within the fiber. Therefore pulse broadening is amplified, rather than intermodal distortion as in multimode fiber.
