Multimode Fiber

what is the difference b/w single mode and multimode fiber(modes of propagation of light) in easy language.?
Fiber optic cables have core, cladding, and outside jacket. The core is the center of the fiber optic cable, the cladding surronds the core and protects it from being scratched, the outside jacket is to fiber from getting dirty.
A mode is a single path that the light travels into the core of the fiber optic cable. Single mode only allows one mode to propagate down the fiber. Multimode allows multiple modes of light to propagate down the fiber core.
The modes of light propagate by total internal reflection, snells law in physics. Single mode allows higher data transmission levels 155 Mbps, 40Gbps, 160Gbps. Mult mode fiber are used for lower data transmission speeds.
Also fiber optic is good way to transmit data in an electrical substation environment because fiber optic cables are dielectrics which mean they don't conduct electricity.
I hope this helps a little. Good luck.

Good reference sites for extending LAN over fibre optic?
Hi.
I need to link the LAN in my local church to the LAN in the office building a few hundred yards away. I can't use copper as the church tower sometimes gets lightening strikes which have previously taken out kit in the office. We currently use WiFi but it is not terribly reliable and we need to start to ship audio and video over IP.
I want to learn about fibre but not sure where to start. I've found places that sell pre-terminated fibre but I don't know whether I need single or multimode, what wavelenght etc.
I also don't know where to find out about media converters from RJ45 to fibre and back. Is fibre full or half duplex...i.e. do I need one or two strands (hence one or two converters are each end). If I need two converters do I need to make up RJ45 splitters to bring the Tx & Rx out on different plugs.
All very confusing. If you can answer any of these or point me at good web resources that would be fantastic.
Many thanks
Jonathan
For the distance you are talking about you would be able to use singlemode or multimode fiber. When buying a media converter you must make sure that you buy the corresponding transceiver to the type of fibre you will be using. Check Blackbox.com for different types of media converters. You can run fiber full or half duplex but you will still need a pair of cables. You should only need one converter for each end of the cable. Fiber optic cable is very fragile and if you plan on running it outside I recommend buying a well shielded cable and NOT the indoor fiber optic cables.
