Which risk increases significantly when submarine fiber optic cables experience microbends?

💡 Explanation

Increased attenuation occurs because microbends induce radiative losses through modal coupling of guided modes to radiation modes, therefore this leads to bit error propagation rather than improved signal quality, because chromatic dispersion helps maintain signal integrity under varying conditions.
