Which output degradation occurs due to insufficient channel equalization during high-speed optical fiber data processing?

💡 Explanation

Channel equalization minimizes inter-symbol interference (ISI) because it counteracts signal distortion. Without sufficient equalization, ISI degrades bit detection; therefore the bit error rate increases rather than lower noise floor or altered optical spectrum by other signal properties.
