Fiber Optics Type

  • There are two types of glass fiber optics.
  • They are called Singlemode (SM) and Multimode (MM).
  • The difference lies on the diameter of the fiber optics core. 
  • Singlemode has only one size of fiber optics core diameter i.e. 9 micron.
  • Multimode basically has two sizes of fiber optics core diameter              i.e. 50 micron and 62.5 micron.
  • However, fiber optics cladding diameter for both MM and SM remains at 125 micron.
How big is a MICRON ?
Picture
Basically human hair size is approximately 100 micron but the size of both multimode and singlemode core size is 50 micron or 62.5 micron and 9 micron respectively. 
One can conclude that human hair size is thicker than the size of fiber optics core !!!

    I have been in the field of fiber optics since early 1990s.  I gained fiber optics skills and knowledge via my working experience as end-user, main contractor and sub-contractor and finally as an optical fiber enterpreneur.
