← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when fiber optic signal strength is significantly reduced after several kilometers?
A)Increased bit error rate✓
B)Enhanced stimulated Brillouin scattering
C)Higher signal-to-noise ratio
D)Decreased chromatic dispersion
💡 Explanation
An increased bit error rate results because signal attenuation weakens the optical pulses, diminishing the receiver's ability to correctly distinguish between bits. Therefore, errors increase rather than a higher signal-to-noise, given lower detectable signal levels across that specific constraint.
