What is the difference between single and multi-mode fibre optic cables?

1. If I remember correctly, Single mode means the pulse travels in one direction at a time and Multi mode means they can travel back and forth at the same time. Hope this helped a little.
2. Single mode is one pair and multimode is several pair cable. Basic difference is several connections may be drawn through multimode fiber optic cable.
3. Hi mohammad is some wht correct. In single mode there is a single medium of data transer and in multimode u can send data through multiple mediums.
