Which phenomenon limits maximum data transmission rate approaching theoretical Shannon limit in fiber optic cables?

💡 Explanation

When transmitting signals close the Shannon limit bandwidth, chromatic dispersion occurs because slightly different wavelengths travel at different speeds broadening pulses, and leading to inter-symbol interference. Therefore chromatic dispersion ultimately limits the rate, more than fatigue, diameter, or connector oxidation at intended operating conditions, which demand different preconditions.
