Abstract
Between 1980 and 1985 single-mode fiber replaced multimode GI as the standard long-haul transmission medium. Despite the large investment in multimode technology, single-mode succeeded because of its greater range, its bandwidth versatility, and its impact on system costs. Installation difficulties were accepted since single-mode was clearly the better investment.
