Can a mini OTDR be installed with both Single Mode (SM) and Multi Mode (MM) functional modules?

No. The compact shell size of a mini OTDR is too small to simultaneously house both Single Mode (SM) and Multi Mode (MM) lasers. Additionally, there isn't sufficient internal space to accommodate the required connectors for such a dual installation.

No. Because, mini OTDR shell size is too small to house both SM and MM lasers. And space is not enogh for connectors to be installed.
