Which undesirable outcome develops in long fiber optic cables because of extended signal transmission?

💡 Explanation

Chromatic dispersion causes signal pulses to widen because different wavelengths travel at slightly different speeds, therefore it distorts the signal, rather than modal birefringence or four-wave mixing which are polarization-based and nonlinear effects, respectively.
