Multimode fiber naturally supports multiple colors of light, hence the “multi” part.

If I saw a “ethnic type” in Holliston or Taunton, MA, for example, it would blow my mind. I’[m guessing this is single mode fiber, if you know what I mean.

(trademark fibrehood for all of us outside the US who spell properly)
