Defining the Multimode Fiber Optic Cables

Hair-thin strands of glass or plastic fiber are used to send light signals. The light travels to the core, the center of the fiber optic. The core it is surrounded by the cladding, an optical material that traps in the core, using the “total internal reflection”...

Single mode vs. Multimode fiber optic cables

Fiber optic has made it possible to transmit data around the globe in a matter of seconds. Compared to copper cable, the information is being transmitted faster and its quality is not altered.   Hair-thin strands of glass or plastic fiber are used to send light...
