  1. What are the Different Types of Fiber Optic Cables?

  2. 1. Fiber optic cables • Fiber optic cables are comprised of a core that transmits light that reflects that light to prevent loss and surrounded by sheathing meant to protect the core and cladding from damage. • The thickness of these layers can vary depending on where the cable will be placed and what kind of performance is needed.

  3. 2. Types of Fiber Optic Cables • Single-mode fiber optic cable: This cable excels at long-distance communication. • A Single-mode cable is designed for carrying a single signal source with low transmission loss over great distances. • It is used for communication systems due to the clarity it provides. • This type of fiber optic cable has the smallest core and thickest sheathing.

  4. Multimode cables are designed for carrying multiple signals. These cables come in two primary varieties. • Step index multimode cables have a thick core through which signals are fed. • Graded index multimode cables have a core arranged in concentric circles, like the cross-section of a tree.
