Which outcome reduces signal clarity when fiber optic cables experience microbends?

💡 Explanation

Intermodal Dispersion reduces the signal clarity, because microbends induce differing group velocities through varied path lengths, causing pulse broadening due to interference. Therefore, the signal becomes less clear, rather than scattering or reflection losses being the primary cause.
