A typical single mode optical fiber has a core diameter between 8 and 10 µm and a cladding diameter of 125 µm. There are a number of special types of single -mode optical fiber which have been chemically or physically altered to give special properties, such as dispersion-shifted fiber and nonzero dispersion-shifted fiber. Data rates are limited by polarization mode dispersion and chromatic dispersion.In 2005, data rates of up to 10 gigabits per second were possible at distances of over 80 km (50 mi) with commercially available transceivers.
