The minimum cladding index for a single mode fiber with a 15 μm core diameter and core index of 1.465 at 850 nm is 1.4595. A multimode fiber with a 100 μm core diameter, core index of 1.4750, and cladding index of 1.4550 at 850 nm will have a V-number of 61.4, supporting hundreds of modes. It will become single mode at wavelengths beyond 1350 nm. Its numerical aperture is 0.200 and maximum acceptance angle is 11.5°. An optical signal experiencing a loss of 45% over 3.5 km results in a loss rate of 4 dB/km. For a fiber with V=75
