No, multi-mode fiber jumping lines cannot be installed in a single-mode light module. The two types of fiber optic cables have different diameters and transmission properties that are not compatible with each other.
Multi-mode fiber optic cables have larger cores (typically 50 microns or 62.5 microns in diameter) and allow multiple modes or paths for the light to travel through. This makes them ideal for short-distance data transmission applications such as LANs and data centers.
Single-mode fiber optic cables, on the other hand, have smaller cores (typically 9 microns in diameter) and only allow a single mode of light to travel through. This makes them ideal for long-distance data transmission applications such as telecommunication networks and cable TV.
The optical modules used for single-mode and multi-mode fibers are designed specifically for their respective types of fibers. The core size and other transmission properties of the fibers are critical to the performance of the optical module. Installing the wrong type of fiber optic cable in an optical module can result in a range of issues such as signal loss, increased noise, and reduced bandwidth.
In addition, the connectors used for single-mode and multi-mode fibers are also different. Single-mode fibers use a smaller connector called the LC connector, while multi-mode fibers use larger connectors such as the SC or ST connectors. These connectors are not interchangeable and require specific mating adapters to connect them to each other.
In summary, it is not possible to install a multi-mode fiber jumping line in a single-mode light module, and attempting to do so can cause significant damage to the equipment and result in degraded performance. It is important to use the correct fiber optic cables and optical modules for each application to ensure reliable and efficient data transmission.
