The fundamental differences between multimode and singlemode fiber are the core size, attenuation, and bandwidth. Smaller core diameters typically result in higher bandwidth and lower attenuation (dB/km). These characteristics are wavelength-dependent.
Singlemode fiber is designed for high-speed, long-distance transmission. Multimode fiber (50 µm or 62.5 µm) is used for shorter distances. The 50 µm fiber offers higher modal bandwidth than the 62.5 µm version.
