This is true for multimode, anywhere outside short distances in datacenters you use singlemode where light does not bounce at an angle. A singlemode fiber acts as a waveguide, the signal travels in a single mode, this is mainly why it's good for longer distances, no modal dispersion.
- scurvy 8y agoThat is not true. Single mode fiber definitely comes in at an angle and bounces off the cladding. You still have a cone of acceptance at play. You're confusing multiple terms and concepts here.
