Inhalt:
Cable capacity and relative cost/bit are compared for coupled-core MCF and uncoupled-core MCF. Differential properties such as nonlinear tolerance, mode-dependent loss/gain, and crosstalk are included. Coupled-core MCF has no advantage for 4 cores, while small potential advantage with 7 cores requires high electrical power.
