Which risk increases when an optical fiber signal's dispersion limit surpasses design specifications?

💡 Explanation

Increased dispersion broadens optical pulses, causing intersymbol interference, because the pulse spreading degrades the signal; therefore, the signal-to-noise ratio decreases, rather than other optical phenomena affecting propagation within the fiber.
