Which failure eventuates when exceeding a fiber's chromatic dispersion limit using WDM?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding the dispersion limit causes pulse broadening via chromatic dispersion, therefore increasing inter-symbol interference triggering bit-error rate degradation. Bit-error problems emerge, rather than power dependent nonlinear effects because dispersion is the dominating effect, initially.
