These requirements are considered before producing the cable to produce effective results of the cables. They find that specifications of each area would generate easy manufacturing for numerous needs. Therefore, the fiber optic cable is manufactured under certain circumstances. Below there are two types a single mode and a multi-mode cable in a loose tube situation. Fiber optic cables are measured by microns of the core, which is the actual fiber.
Sizes often vary between single mode and multi-mode cables.
The advantages of multi-mode cables over single mode cables are the transmission of light properties. For instance, the single mode cable has a 5-10 m m measurement, which eliminates light to travel long distances unless it has a light source as strong as a laser. The multi-mode cable allows light waves to travel long distances with no losses. For an example, the diagram below illustrates the properties of this arrangement between the single and multi-mode cables. The fiber optic cables are quite sturdy today compared to earlier developed cables.
