Which limit causes increased crosstalk impairment when multi-mode fiber optic cables transmit at higher bandwidth using wavelength division multiplexing (WDM)?

💡 Explanation

Increased modal dispersion degrades signal separation because, as adjacent wavelengths overlap, there's greater modal interference, limiting channels; therefore crosstalk increases, rather than being due to fiber nonlinearities which dominate at much higher powers.
