I also work in the network field. Please allow me to correct a couple of your points.

Single mode vs. MultiMode fiber does not mean what you think it means (one wavelength vs. many) and as the name may suggest.
To simplify, MultiMode is for short distance runs, SingleMode is for long distance runs. A different wavelength (actually a "range" of wavelengths) are used for single mode to achieve longer distances.
What you were describing is actually called Multiplexing

This is how super high data rates are achieved by cramming many different wavelength transmissions into the "tubes".

No. You would not be charged because you were not in the act of committing a felony by jaywalking, as they were with this home invasion.

I live in Florida and a friend's girlfriend was charged with murder because of an incident very similar to this. She lured some guy to a place with the promise of sex in order for her two armed friends to rob him.
The would-be victim pulled a a gun and shot one of the would-be robbers. The other and the girl who "masterminded" the crime both got 25 to life for their part in their friend's wrongful death while committing a felony.

This is not correct.
While there are 4 pairs of wires in a CAT-5/6 cable, only two are used for data.
One transmit pair, one receive pair. When using the standard wiring, they would be the Orange & Orange-White / Green & Green-White pairs respectively.
The Blue and Brown pairs are unused. You can verify this by capping your own cable and leaving those four wires out. You will still achieve Gigabit speeds.
