This paper studies and evaluates singlemode and multimode fiber transmission by varying the distance. It focuses on their performance in LAN environment. This is achieved by observing the pulse spreading and attenuation in optical spectrum and eye-diagram that are obtained using OptSim simulator. The behaviors of two modes with different distance of data transmission are studied, evaluated and compared.}, journal = {International Journal of Electronics and Communication Engineering}, volume = {1}, number = {11}, year = {2007}, pages = {1660 - 1662}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10322}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/11}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 11, 2007}, }
