Fiber Optic Cable

Type of Fiber Optic Cable
Optical fiber is divided into two types based on the transmission mode. The following are the types of optical fiber, namely:

a. Single Mode Optical Fiber is a network cable that has a single transmission, so that it can only spread its light only through one core at a time. This type of optical fiber has a small core with a diameter of about 9 micrometers which is used to transmit light waves from infrared light with wavelengths of 1300-1550 nanometers.

b. Multimode Optical Fiber is a network cable that can transmit a lot of light at the same time because it has a large core size that has a diameter of about 625 micrometers. This type of cable is usually used for commercial purposes which are generally accessed by many people. This optical fiber transmits infrared light that has a length of 850-1300 nanometers.
