Fiber Optic Cable Types: Comprehensive Guide
Two Types of Fiber Optic Cable Fiber optic cables fall into two main categories: single-mode fiber (SMF) and multimode fiber (MMF), each designed for specific transmission requirements.
Selection of Fiber Type and Number of Cores
Experience: In the wiring room (horizontal wiring cabinet) of each floor, there is one optical fiber, generally six cores: two cores are used, two cores are reserved, and two cores are redundant;
