Which risk increases when excessive Optical Carrier (OC) signals are added to a SONET fiber optic network?

💡 Explanation

Increased bit error rate occurs due to four-wave mixing. Four-wave mixing is a parametric effect—additional non-linear optical channels act as noise sources—because intermodulation distortion accumulates therefore degrading the signal, rather than stabilizing the signal, under ideal conditions.
