Single-Mode Fiber: This type of fiber optic cable is used for long-distance transmission of data as it has a small core (9 microns) and can transmit a single mode of light.
Multimode Fiber: This type of fiber optic cable has a larger core (50 or 62.5 microns) and can transmit multiple modes of light, making it ideal for short-distance transmission.
Graded-Index Fiber: This type of fiber optic cable has a varying refractive index, which helps to reduce dispersion and signal distortion during transmission.
Polarization-Maintaining Fiber: This type of fiber optic cable maintains the polarization of the light signal during transmission, making it ideal for applications that require precise control of polarization.
Plastic Optical Fiber: This type of fiber optic cable is made of plastic and is used for short-distance transmission of data.
Bend-Insensitive Fiber: This type of fiber optic cable has a design that reduces the loss of light due to bending, making it ideal for applications where the cable needs to be bent or routed around corners.
Photonic Crystal Fiber: This type of fiber optic cable has a periodic structure of airholes that guide the light, making it ideal for applications that require high bandwidth and low dispersion.
Double-Clad Fiber: This type of fiber optic cable has a large core that allows for high-power laser transmission, making it ideal for applications such as fiber lasers.
Hollow-Core Fiber: This type of fiber optic cable has a hollow core, which allows for the transmission of light through air, making it ideal for applications that require low latency and high bandwidth.
Metal-Coated Fiber: This type of fiber optic cable has a metal coating, which can provide additional protection against the environment and help reduce interference.
